This is the only romance I have read where the heroine, after being disarmed by the hero, gives him a swift knee to the groin and makes her getaway. Then she crosses paths with Finn Trewlove, who quickly realizes that the girl he once knew is now a woman of iron. Lavinia lives with the Sisters of Mercy and meets baby-farmers at night to take their neglected charges. The book begins with Lavinia Kent making her way through mean streets so she can save an infant. I preferred the part of the novel taking place in the present, which, while flawed, was a lot less predictable. This is the backstory of Lorraine Heath’s The Scoundrel in Her Bed, wherein the couple reunite years later. Boy leaves, vowing to hate girl for ever, and girl finds out she’s pregnant. But at the designated hour, girl’s father shows up and tells boy she’s changed her mind. Surrendering to teenaged passion, they make love, then plan to run off and marry.
