Book Reviews of Pickpocket Countess (Harlequin Historical Series)
Book Review: good, but issue with pacing
Summary: 4 Stars
I like the concept of this novel, as it implies an intelligent, sexy, and strong heroine. Nora definitely lived up to all my expectations. The hero was also very attractive for similar reasons. The plot itself was interesting enough, but I'm still questioning the pace of the novel. Honestly, after the very intriging first chapter I found myself skipping around a bit - which I never do! But after I found out what was going on a few chapter's later, I went back and reread it all. The ending was great, too.
Now I think I'll attempt to explain why there was a sence of lagging in the story..it's not exactly what you'd call a spoiler (especially since you find out in the first chapter anyways) but I thought I'd give fair warning since there has yet to be mention of it here on Amazon: Nora, aka "The Cat", is aka "Miss Habersham", who is her eccentric spinster alter-ego. During the parts where she was dressed as this woman, I found it quite dull, even if she was interacting with the hero. I understand the necesity of it for the plot, but it just fell flat inbetween these exiting and sensual encounters Nora had as The Cat.
Regardless, it is a fun, adventurous book with a humanitarian twist and, I should mention, a very real romance - that in and of itself deserves four stars! I'm very interested in trying other novels by Scott.
