Customer Reviews

A very good book

This was my first Rosemary Stevens book and I admit that I was impressed. As the previous reviewer mentioned, the characters were awesome--I could easily picture each person as they were introduced in the story.The plot is simple. No elaborate death threats, war issues, or madmen running around. That's okay, because it stands just fine on its story.If I had any problems with this book, I found it to be a mite slow at points. The characters indulge--in my opinion--in too much introspection. "Stop thinking and act!" I wanted to yell at them. Some books err on the side of no-brainer characters; this one tends to err on the side of too-deep-of-thinking characters.Overall, a very good book.

Excellent Regency Romance

I adore the characters in this book, I'm sure I met the surly innkeeper once when staying at an Inn in Wales, we have the traditional penniless heroine, living with her old nurse, a French maid with magical face creams to clear freckles. A retired Major who eventually wins the bride of his dreams, the young lord who is spending too much gambling and is lured away from the hells of London, and not forgetting the dashingly dressed Lilly who exists to tempt the hero from the straight and narrow.This by the way is one of the last Regency Romancy line published by Fawcett Crest, perhaps if we buy enough copies they might relent and publish a few more.
