Reviews / Votes
A really good read for fans of both romance and mystery. * Faith Martin * A deliciously spicy Regency romance with a compelling murder mystery at its heart. I loved every minute of this action-packed adventure and can't wait to read more by Felicity George * Sarah Dunnakey * This is Felicity George's best book so far, and is sure to delight her many devoted fans and win her lots of new ones. It's more of a slow-burn romance than her previous novels, and the sexual tension that develops between her hero and heroine really sizzles, so that when they finally get together the scene scorches the pages. But, as always with this author, it's a powerful exploration of the dark reality of women's lives in the Regency, as well as a gripping and deeply satisfying love story that features two characters who have been obsessed with each other for years, for reasons they can't bring themselves to admit. I couldn't put it down and when I finally did it was with a happy sigh * Emma Orchard *More details
