5.0 out of 5 stars An unforgettable Victorian romance, 31 Jan 2003
By "ambersaxon696" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
"The Perfect Mistress" was my second novel by Betina Krahn and similarly to"The Last Bachelor" it took my breath away. The author is well acquinted with the history of her settings and she knows her characters as well. The story is set in late Victorian England mostly in London. Gabrielle La Coeur is a beautiful and intelligent young woman, the daughter of a rich and beautiful London courtesan. She is determined to take her destiny in her own hands, find a respectable husband and live a respectable married life. She opposes her mother's plans for her to find an eligible protector who would introduce her to the great romantic love all women dream of and who would take care of her every need.Pierce St. James is a typical representative of his class; wealthy, handsome and a notorious libertine. He enjoys his freedom as a determined bachelor very much and he fights against hypocrisy among the politicians of Victorian society.He meets Gabrielle by accident in unusual circumstances. After clearing some of the misunderstandings of their encounter they make a mutual agreement of helping each other in order to achieve what they want.Their farcial scheme involves spending plenty of time in each other's company and convincing others about the seriousness of their relationship. They get to know each other's personalities, dreams and ideologies. Their pretended association soon backfires and they turn their lives and their surroundings upside down.This story proves again the great talent of the author. The characters are all fully alive, very human and full of depth. Their encounters are accompanied by witty dialogues, touching love scenes and lots of exciting action. The storyline is fast-paced and keeps the reader interested until the end. The historical era is well researched and I like the way the author discusses important social issues in late Victorian society.
THE PERFECT MISTRESS is a wonderful insight into the accepted and unaccepted ways of life of men and women in Victorian times. Despite of the fact that the story is fictional, the author makes us feel that her characters and their problems are very real. It is another unforgettable read recommended to all historical romance fans who appreciate quality.
