Forced into a marriage of convenience, Elissande and Vere are each about to discover that they’re not the only one with a hidden agenda.

Couldn't bring myself to believe they fell in love - or really even knew each other (2.5 stars)
By J. P.
[End of the Victorian era - England]
HIS AT NIGHT is Sherry Thomas's fourth book, but the first of hers that I've read. Although I did not enjoy this book, I think Thomas is a talented author who has the ability to create interesting and complex characters. Not Quite a Husband has very good reader reviews, so I think I will be checking it out from the library and reading it before deciding that Thomas isn't for me.
SUMMARY (from back cover):
"Elissande Edgerton is a desperate woman, a virtual prisoner in the home of her tyrannical uncle. Only through marriage can she claim the freedom she craves. But how to catch the perfect man? Lord Vere is used to baiting irresistible traps. As a secret agent for the government, he's tracked down some of the most devious criminals in London, all the while maintaining his cover as one of Society's most harmless - and idiotic - bachelors. But nothing can prepare him for the scandal of being ensnared by Elissande. Forced into a marriage of convenience, Elissande and Vere are each about to discover that they're not the only one with a hidden agenda. With seduction their only weapon - and a dark secret form the past endangering both their lives - can they learn to trust each other even as they surrender to a passion that won't be denied?"
OPINION:
Elissande (24) and Penny/Vere (29) were interesting, multi-dimensional, and complex and if this book had been a regular non-historical-romance book of fiction, they would have made for excellent character studies and I think I would be giving it a much higher rating. This *is* a historical romance, however, and for me it just did not fulfill what I want from books in this category.
A positive aspect of the book, aside from the engaging main and supporting characters, was the mystery subplot. It was interesting with some very good twists and even though I guessed some, there were others I was not at all expecting, but that made sense when revealed.
My main complaint is that for me, the romance was just not there. First, this is my first Thomas book so I don't know how sensual her stories normally are, but other than one scene, HIS AT NIGHT was sadly lacking in sexual tension and chemistry (there were other instances, but they weren't very inspiring).
Second, I don't find a romance very believable or enjoyable when for over half the book the heroine thinks the hero is - literally - an idiot and the hero dislikes the heroine. Second, I don't find a romance very believable or enjoyable when for over half the book the heroine thinks the hero is - literally - an idiot and the hero dislikes the heroine. They didn't spend enough time with one another as their "true" selves, without the masks and fake personalities to hide behind.
Another point of contention for me was that the book takes place over just a few weeks, yet in that time two strangers meet, think the aforementioned negative things about one another for half that time, and then fall in love while still pretending to be/think those negative things - this didn't at all ring true to me. Though they're supposed to share a sense of kinship and have a miraculously deep understanding of one another, it felt forced and unbelievable.
Do I think the characters of Elissande and Penny could fall in love? Yes. Do I think they could have a very happy and fulfilling marriage? Yes. But all of that is something I can picture post-book and I don't know about other readers, but I don't read romances to enjoy a great set-up: I want instant gratification, everything settled and in HEA-mode by the end of the book.
Final note: the marriage between Elissande and Vere was *not* - as suggested by the book summary - one of convenience, but rather a direct result of Elissande's manipulation and scheming. Yes, she has a very good reason to go to such lengths, since she desperately wants to get her aunt and herself out of her uncle's house, but this duplicity still made me very uncomfortable.

First Great, then Descends
By lovesbooks
Like many of us, I was really looking forward to this book. I loved the first two-thirds, then it descended into pure annoyance. Sherry Thomas did a great job in creating the menace of the uncle without making me experience PTSD in his punishments of Ellisande by destroying all books, written in English, depriving her aunt of her opium, and other psychological tortures. The real focus was on the hero and heroine (who are not separated for long periods), and it was fun seeing Vere manipulate people with his appearance of idiocy. Because Vere and Ellisande are so interesting, so likable, the first part of this book is a great read. Once Ellisande marries Vere, he is furious, but does not descend into endless ferocity and mistreatment. He mainly smolders, still being attracted to Ellisande, and then the problem of her uncle becomes the focus. However, he is NOT as protective of her as I would have liked, partially because he underestimates the uncle. If I had stopped reading at this point, I would have given the book an A.
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
However, I didn't stop. In the last third, Vere changes from a man posing as an idiot to one who is a true twit. Too often, he is TSTL. He decides, unconvincingly for me, that it's too intense for him to continue loving Ellisande and they must get an annulment, which he says are routinely obtained, if people lie and if there is enough money. Because that has not been my understanding of the courts in England, that blithe "solution" to the consummated marriage seemed unduly convenient and a cheap way to create suspense. Then, the VERY confusing back story about what REALLY happened to Ellisande as an infant, her uncle, and her aunt heaps more unnecessary angst on Ellisande. AFTER he has seen the uncle brutalize her already, Vere plots with Ellisande to go alone to see her dangerous uncle who beats her fairly badly. Yes, Vere is outside and yes, Ellisande eventually triumphs over her uncle with a metal weight, but I was not happy with this solution and thought it was poor plotting by Thomas. We find out that Vere discovered a terrible crime of his father (see, he has a parallel back story too). When Vere was 16 (after the father's death), he went to his aunt with this heavy knowledge. She recommends that he goes undercover, like her, to work for the police and suggests that he pose as a hedonist. Frankly, that an aunt would make such a suggestion and that any police or government agency would want a 16 year old haring off to solve crimes were too much to swallow. In the meantime, Thomas introduces Vere's brother's romance, something that is so superficial that, for me, it was just an annoyance. I could go on and cite other stupidities, but I will do something Thomas does not: I will spare you.
So, because the ending of the book is so inconsistent in character, so unbelievable in plot, and so annoying generally, I gave this book a C.

Surprising, and nearly great
By B. Proczko
I have enjoyed Sherry Thomas since I stumbled across her first novel, Private Arrangements. I love her sentences, I like nearly all the characters she creates. The best part of this book was probably the dialogue, and the ideas of deception and self-deception are intriguing, and it was nice to see some of the characters from her previous books mentioned. I laughed out loud more than once, in surprise and delight both. However. It was still a nearly good book, an almost great romance, a practically nice story. Her strengths lie in the tensions between characters, the things people do to themselves and to each other, mostly with words. So when she created a dramatic moment of action, it was oddly flat and not terribly tense, which consequently deflated some of the other revelations a bit. I still liked it far better than many of the romance novels I've come across, but it was a tich disappointing from this author.
