Not as good as I expect from Wolf. The implausibility at the beginning (the hero and heroine, believed to be brother and sister, are given a single room at an inn?) was jarring; if a romance is going to have a more formal, traditional Regency feel, it needs to stay within the bounds of believabilit...
This book was like a good meal. Once I finished, I wanted to just sit around and enjoy the residual feeling of enjoyment. The characters were well-drawn, complete with faults and insecurities, and watching Phillip and Jessica together was so romantic it hurt.
Loved this book.Lady Jessica Andover needs money to keep her beloved home after her stepfather has frittered away all of her money.

For me it was only light diversion. The psychological issues concerning the different women's emotions were a bit t...

Second in an excellent Trilogy. This book is absolutely outstanding. I could not put it down and wanted to read the whole thing over again as soon as I finished. This book is filled with history, love, treachery, intrigue, a truly evil villainess, battles and more. Ceawlin and Niniane are a wonderfu...
