Ms. Ivory's novels are rich and complicated. She is one of the few romance writers whose books are full of truly flawed characters whom you come to love. Her books are often based on familiar fairy tales or folk stories. For instance, ''Sleeping Beauty'' is obvious (although the book itself is quite dark and disturbing), The ''Beast'' based on the beauty in the beast tale, ''Starlit Surrender'' (''Angel in a Red Dress'') is based on the Scarlet Pimpernel tale. ''The Proposition'' is a twist on Pygmalion.
