Jo: I don't think Prudence is snobbish. I compare her to a contemporary woman who puts her husband/boyfriend through college to make a better life for themselves and then finds herself divorced/left behind because she doesn't fit his new world. She just wants what is due to her.
As far as your book not being "hot" enough, pffft. Why does every book have to have x number of sex scenes. Each couple is different. What I have really liked about your books is the sense that we are reading about different characters each time, not the author(ess) and her fantasy lover over and over again like some authors tend to do.
The heated scenes in this book were apropos to the story.
I don't have a preference for class of hero/heroine; just that the story be believable and fun to read. You hit the mark every time.
