Reactions and Reviews

This one's an AU with Ares/Iphicles, set in Regency England. Instead of being laughable, it's really quite sexy--at least once you get over the shock of hearing our colloquial Greek babes speak a la Austen. But underneath the formal dialogue, there's real heat between these two. It's exactly what you'd expect from a Regency romance, in that we have a hero unwilling to believe that the rake loves him, so there's that delicious anticipation of the inevitable climax. One of the elements I most admire about it is Jen's refusal either to femme the guys, or to prettify their actions. Her Ares is a rake of nearly Lovelace-ian proportions, and would do Richardson proud. I really like Jen's fiction overall; she's one of my favorite writers. Her characters are always complex, often depraved, and yet poignantly human.
