Loved it

I love this book. I've read a few of rosemary's books now and so far she has not disappointed me. I look forward to reading more of her stuff. The chars were great and I even found some of it romantic, some funny moments and the building of the relationship was just the right pace, not to slow but not rushed either.

great romantic book

Finally an old fashioned romance book with love and adventure!!! It has been a while since I enjoyed a book such as this (even stayed up until 1 am to finish it). I enjoyed the characters who seem very real to me. This book gives me the goosebump especially the attraction between the hero/heroine. Love love it!!

wonderful Regency romance

In 1821 Leonida Karkoff arrives as a welcome guest of Lord Edmond and his wife Brianna (see SCANDALOUS DECEPTION). However, Leonida finds herself attracted to her shock to her host's twin brother Stefan, the Duke of Huntley. Stefan distrusts Leonida, who as the illegitimate daughter of Czar Alexander has no reason to be in England unless she has some diabolical plot to harm the Russian ruler. However, Stefan is more upset with himself for wanting a woman he distrusts. Leonida feels guilt as she is pulled in two directions as her mother sent her to retrieve letters that will hurt the czar if exposed and her desire perhaps even love for Stefan. He seduces her, but soon afterward she vanishes with the letters to the content with him in pursuit. In St. Petersburg, Stefan catches up with his Leonida, who has fled his bed for fear her heart will die if she remains with her beloved. The St. Petersburg setting refreshes a wonderful Regency romance sequel starring two beloved enemies. Besides the enticing Russian backdrop, Leonida is a refreshing protagonist pulled by her mother in one direction and yanked in the opposite by her love for Stefan. Fans will enjoy this brisk tale as Rosemary Rogers shows why she is consistently one of the historical romance sub-genre sure things. Harriet Klausner
