I particularly enoyed the drunken, gritty, courageous portrayal of Eve Gardiner, and the slowly evolving relationship between she and CHarlie St. Clair (yo...

Surely there was another way to get t...

Best book I have read all year and quite possibly my favorite Quinn novel yet. This book proves Quinn can bring any era to life with characters who you will find yourself crying over when it is all said and done. Seriously, I need to go find a corner to curl up in now. I just don't know what to do w...
