Lloyd I’m a sucker for terrific writing – something BARED TO THE VISCOUNT has in spades – so it’s no wonder that I absolutely loved reading this debut novel from Lara Archer. Her prose is gorgeous, her pace is effortless, and the story flows from one well-crafted scene to another. Archer’s grasp of history and language is superb, and she blends this with a sensual story of love, connection, and humor that had me alternating between aching for these characters, fanning myself after their encounters, and laughing and crying with them as they faced the obstacles that kept them apart. (Not to mention the terrific and hilarious subplot of the sexton and his widowed lover.) This story is richly satisfying on all levels, which is why I’m thrilled to learn from reading blog posts that have popped up in honor of her release day that Lara Archer has books two and three in the Rites of May series well underway. I’m especially thrilled to learn Archer has plans for her character Sam Brickey! Hubba, hubba -- that’s going to be one steamy and wonderful read. So, yes, I will be first in line to snap up those books, and any other Ms. Archer publishes. Judging by her BARED TO THE VISCOUNT, she’s clearly going to be a star!
6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Pass on this spinster By GoddessPhD “Bared to the Viscount” by Lara Archer is the first book in her series, “The Rites of May”. Mary Wilkins is the clergyman’s sister, twenty-six years old, and firmly on the shelf. On her way through the church storage house, she espies the sexton and proprietress of the local pub engaging in a clandestine rendezvous and wonders how she can go on living as a spinster (What’s stopped her before?). The most fervent object of her desire is John, Viscount Parkhurst, recently returned to the village and resigned to keeping his father’s promise to marry one of Lord Lawton’s daughters and join their abutting properties. However, while he musters of the courage to enter into a loveless marriage he spends his days working beside Mary Wilkins, his childhood friend. It is during one of these excursions to locate a new well that their hidden passions bubble to the surface casting them along a wave of conflicts and miscommunications.*** SPOILER ALERT****There was some lovely writing in this story although it did take a while for the actual story to get started – there seemed to be a lot of information dump in the beginning. Archer spent an enormous amount of words describing the heroine’s history and plain looks when perhaps a more active approach could have been used to hook readers.My biggest complaint was that I did not like the heroine, Mary Wilkins. Perhaps Archer wanted me to sympathize with Mary because she was so plain when the men were so attractive (including Mary’s brother Thomas), but I thought Archer could have engaged my feelings another way: perhaps used the Lawton family to belittle Mary? Mostly, I was troubled by Mary’s fickle attitude: she claimed to love John, yet when she thinks he’s engaged to one of the Lawton girls, Mary almost hooks up with Sam, a local landowner. Call me old-fashion (You’re old-fashioned!), but I don’t like my hero/heroine to go past second base with other characters. Not to say I haven’t read it before, but the author (for example: “Worth Any Price” by Lisa Kleypas) has to submit a very good reason that the hero is having sex with someone other than the heroine. That being said, Mary jumping from one hot clinch to Sam’s…AND then, back to John’s…left me with an icky feeling. And later, Mary hugs Sam like they’re good friends. Uh…awkward.My other big complaint was Archer using the ol’ “failure to communicate” instead of developing a real conflict. Miscommunication does not equal conflict. Mary thinks that John is going to propose to one of the Lawton girls and then keep Mary on the side as his mistress. Later, Lord Lawton lies about an engagement and John lets himself get wrapped in the lie. He doesn’t spend the time to clear the miscommunication, which made me very frustrated with him and Mary. Ugh. Mary’s running away from John also made me dislike her. I thought she was smarter than that, but her actions speak louder than words.Overall, I had problems with structure and plot of the story. Good writing, unfortunately, did not save this story for me. One thing I do admire about Archer is she introduced readers to other interesting characters (that I hope get their own story) in very subtle ways. Sometimes the first book in a series spends too much time setting up future conflicts or world-building, but Archer applies a light touch with her character introductions and leaves future conflicts rather vague. I might give another of her books a read with hopes her plotting improves.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Sexy, sweet, and very well written By Cory Ida This book is very, very sexy. It's definitely not erotica - there's an excellent story to be told that is very sweet - but the love scenes are incredibly erotic.Both John and Mary are wonderful and the secondary characters are excellent. I was surprised by how much I ended up liking the Lawton sisters, especially Rosamund, and I really hope Sam gets his own story.The book was very good - the writing quality was excellent, the characters well drawn, the pace just right, and of course the love scenes were very steamy.
