By Tina Engler
As is usually the case with Henley, I found this book to be compelling and intriguing. This author has a real talent for reeling me in and keeping my attention. However, as is the case with "Enticed", I don't think her publishers did her any favors by reprinting this 1989 novel. The heroines in her earlier books are typically willfull, spoiled little brats you can't stand reading about.
The heroine of "The Falcon and the Flower" downright got on my nerves for over 2/3 of this book...no, more like 4/5 of this book. I think Ms. Virginia was trying to make her seem feisty, but she came off vastly different. She was an icy, mean, spoiled little girl I couldn't stand.
The heroine got on my nerves so bad that at one point I was actually routing for the hero's ex-mistress to win him back. I have never wished that on any other heroine I've read to date...that's tantamount to watching "Jaws" and routing for the shark.
Another thing that disturbed me about this book was that there were a couple of scenes in which the hero slapped the heroine. Unfortunately, I disliked her so much that I didn't care...then I felt guilty about that since I consider myself a feminist and abhor violence against women!
If you are a major Henley fan, you will probably enjoy this book at least somewhat. The book, with all its faults, was still quite engaging. As long as you go into this knowing what to expect, it probably won't be so bad. And as your reading, don't be surprised if you hear the theme song to "Jaws" playing in the background of your mind...

WORST!! WANT MY MONEY BACK!!
By Channy
The Flower: ok so I can understand how she became a spoiled little annoying girl but after a while you just got to ask: is she ever going to learn and try something else? She's a stupid, spoiled, and stubborn girl. That's all. Over and over it's the same thing, she doesn't try anything new, even for better or worse when he does something so horrible to her (read further).
The Falcon: Hate him. As other reviewers have put: he hits her, and once at the very end when you're just, "oh come on! haven't you changed YET?!" He's also a pig, who thinks one thing so sadly and understandably that you think that he's finally caught on and might change, but nope! HUGE SPOILER ALERT!!!!: he rapes her. And the FIRST time "I guess" I can understand his reasoning but then he does it again... and again, and again. And this isn't like other books (which are still sick) where the woman says no and tries to resist, but his skills and fire sooo ignite her to hott hott sex. NOPE!! She pleads and cries for him to stop, when she realizes he won't she freezes and makes her mind go away, somewhere far away, other than there. It's nothing more than rape! Several rapes! Each time after he's either angry (at her!) or feels bad, and when he feels bad that quickly turns to lust 10 pages later when he continues his raping or fondling of her as she pleads for him to stop.
Over all, this is a looong book where we get a lot of pages where they fight, yell, and say mean things, plus him and his lust, but then BAM!! LUST!!! and after one night over sex (of 3) she's telling him she loves him. Nowhere before that is there any hidden message that she's holding back and does like him. I mean, she stares at his chest a few times, but ladies... that's the only connection I can find before she's sprouting I love you to him... and after he hits and rapes her!! Classic Stockholm syndrome!!!
I wish I can get my $8 back and have the publishers pay me for my wasted time.
Both characters disgust me. THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE!! I wish other reviews had warned me of the rapes and not just the hitting (which I can explain away by the time period) so I hope others find this review helpful.

Very good, but a bit aggravating
By A Customer
I have read several Henley books. I loved The Marriage Prize. As with that book, this one contained wonderful, fascinating historical facts and a story that I couldn't put down. My only complaint was that Jasmine was so unlikeable. As another reviewer said, she was a spoiled brat and I had very little sympathy for her. If you can put up with a herione like that, the book was well-written and the story comes to a satisfying ending.
