This all has some connection to the slimy owner of the brothel Leonhardt went to in England the previous year. They embark on an affair that involves some super hot sexy sex, whips, bondage, etc.There is a mystery underlying this story, as girls are disappearing and being found dead.
From the first time they meet Faith is excited by Leonhardt because of his commanding presence, and he recognizes that even though she is fiercely independent she craves being told what to do. Anyway, Leonhardt is bald, which I also love since I’ve got a thing for bald guys and they’re rare in books, and he’s an engineer who also likes a bit of domination. And I just can’t tell you how awesome it was to read about someone, even fictional, from Luxembourg!! I don’t know why, but I just love hearing about that place. She’s also supposed to be getting married, but doesn’t think that men interest her. From the disembodied arm they find in the beginning to the flying, this book hooked me and I totally got into it.The story is that Faith is in Cairo for an aviation show, and plans to fly her airplane in it. It was set in Cairo, Egypt, a place I rarely read about, and the whole atmosphere of the book felt very Rebecca-esque, like something spooky was about to happen at. So even after there were car descriptions and it was the advent of flight shows, a concrete date would have been extremely helpful to me.Anyway, beyond all that, this book was great. It didn’t make me enjoy the book any less in the beginning, I guess I just thought it was a regency novel, but then there were cars and stuff and so I got confused. I’m still not quite sure what time period it was in, but if I had to guess, it would be the early 1900’s. Review 1: So I guess I didn’t read the summary for this book, because it took me way longer than I should admit to realize that it was set in a different time period.
