Also the sex is really HOT - if you don't like your sex honest and not hedged in by fluffy euphemisms DON'T get this book, some of the descriptions are so down to earth explicit they could grace a manual on 'improving your relationship'.
Nicholas is very taken with Merry’s attractions, and is in fact eager to paint her. Merry deceives him by posing as a servant, and he in turn is taken by her unaware beauty and charm. The two soon realise their attraction for one another, and act upon it. For each it starts out as a temporary thing, but when Merry finally has the opportunity she had been working towards, she finds she cannot simply walk away from Nicholas. Together they go to Vience, city of lovers. But Nicholas still does not know the truth, and in fact he is hiding something himself…
I enjoyed that Merry takes control of her situation here. She comes under considerable pressure and in fact blackmail from her family, and unusually for the time (considering her station) she does not bend to their wishes, but comes up with her own plan, takes action and then also takes responsibility for the consequences. Nicholas is more a product of the time, but is nevertheless an engaging central male character, with his own strengths and weaknesses, and provides the opportunity for Merry to blossom into the person he uniquely perceived her as being from the outset.
Taking the romance outside of London was also different. The lifestyle Nicolas leads in Venice is not a particularly attractive one, but it is this section that leads to the epiphany for both characters independently as well as for the structure of the story as a whole.
