Don't Tempt Me

- Loretta Chase -

Typically entertaining read, with amusing character moments, but felt like the story was a little bit underdeveloped in this one, ie:

- never got much in the way of reaction to to story surrounding Zoe's sale into slavery by one of her family's servants - her family/friends had nothing to say about this?

- seemed a bit too easy that Zoe managed to spend 12 years in a harem but remain a virgin, whilst still being skilled in all the arts of seduction. Convenient much?

- Lucien's grief over all the losses he suffered make sense, but never really explored enough, especially as related to his disinterest in business affairs etc which resulted in a bunch of servants ripping him off.

- Zoe's assimilation back into society and ease with which she developed a normal romance with Lucien seemed.... too easy? Aside from an understandable reluctance to be kept hidden away in her home, no side effects of the whole experience? Really?

I really did enjoy the story as I was reading it, but when I put it down for a moment the glaring plot holes and lack of development get more irritating.
