4.0 out of 5 stars Liz Carlyle keeps delivering, 22 Nov 2003
By A Customer
Carlyle seems to be the most reliable of romance authors. Having read roughly half of her books so far I haven't encountered one single dud yet.
A Woman of Virtue, whilst not the sparkliest and funniest of her books, has a throroughly compelling, fiery romance. Don't get me wrong, this one has its laughs as well, mostly in the beginning, and that light touch characteristic to the author. But this is less prominent due to the fact that the book, more than most in this genre, is also a murder mystery.
The book has less elegant drawing rooms and balls than an average regency as the hero and heroine struggle to help young prostitutes in the seedy East London. It is not often in this genre that you encounter gently bred virgin heroine discussing sodomy, rape and the benefits of vinegar soaked sponges as contraceptive. But I found this unusually realistic tone refreshing and tastefully done and what - with the beautifully depicted love-relationship - lifts the book well above the norm. The hero and heroine and their thoughts are interesting and convincing as they try and find their bearings in relation to each other amongst all the fear and unbiddable hunger a real, serious attraction brings in its wake. There is a depth to them that does not rely on extraordinarily heavy baggage of their pasts (often the basis of some very good romance books, the severy tortured hero, etc) but on conflicts in their own personality revealed to them through the relationship.
A Woman of Virtue is definetely a keeper and a book I suspect will grow on me. The only reason I omitted one star is that while the murder story is well done, it is not what personally interests me when reading a romance. If it is to your taste you might easily find yourself giving this book the full rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another perfect book!!, 1 Jul 2009
By Honorine (Lanc's) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Woman of Virtue (Mass Market Paperback)
The more I read Liz Carlyle the more I am hooked! I started in the middle of her list by accident then went back to the beginning and am reading them in order now; I have just read 'A Woman of Virtue' and I loved every minute of it, even the murder mystery, hence five stars.

The first reviewer has already given a fine run down of the story but I must urge any LC fans to buy this book and experience the feelings that reading it produces. I haven't recovered yet!

Just breathtaking......on to the next.
