I have surprising little to say about this book. I really don't have anything extremely negative to point out against the story. Suffice it to say that this story did not capture me at all.
The writing style of The Viscount's Kiss
It's a shame really as I thought there were plenty of great plot elements in place. There was a well traveled but shy intellectual hero (which upon further reflection might have been part of the problem, it's hard to explain) and a mystery surrounding the heroine’s rapid departure from her previous position. I was almost certain of the reason behind her flight, but alas didn't stick around to find out.
I thought it was vaguely amusing that the hero's father was so certain of his son's non-interest in women as to worry about his sexuality but wouldn't read the book that the hero wrote on his travels and study of spiders which also apparently alluded to his sexual congress with native women of another country. Though this might not be so unsurprising as it seemed everyone in the novel knew of his book, his travels, and the scandal/gossip from his book but hadn't read it. That includes the heroine!
I tried to dig deeper into the book, but then thought who really wants to struggle like that? Not me! In the end I just wasn’t engaged and wound up closing the book on page 96. The book is 277 pages long.

Keira's favorite type of heroes are blind, scarred, and tortured... yes, she understands those should be separate, but all 3 at once is also nice! She enjoys historical romances best and adores audio books because great narrators turn books into auditory/mental movies (and she loves her romantic dramas like Pride and Prejudice/North and South!)
