Enjoyable

This is a light & easy read. Very enjoyable and of similar standard of the other 2 books in the trilogy. I was not disappointed

Excellent Historical Romance/Fiction

IMHO - This, is an intelligent, well written book, and more than a pleasure to read! The storyline, settings, timeline, hero, heroine, and secondary characters are interesting, original, and well developed by the author. Each character, is distincly set apart, yet wonderfully interwoven, in a compelling story, rich, in well huned prose. I could not, put this book down, reading through the night. I was never so happy to purchase a book - I will purchase the rest of the trilogy to discover the fates of Adrian and Barrett.

What a treat!

It's always a treat to pick up a book by an author you're not familiar with and realizing by the third page that they've just become one of your favorites. LaFoy had me when the heroine refused to be ripped off by a client she did a drawing for (if you read this book I'm sure you'll mentally applaud like I did). Most heroines would just swallow their pride and accept whatever she got because "it's for the children", but not this one. She stayed strong throughout the whole book and never made any of the stupid mistakes most headstrong heroines do that makes you roll your eyes at their idiocy. She stood up for herself and it was refreshing. Oh, and the hero wasn't too shabby himself. My one complaint is that the ending was a little too easily wrapped up.

solid historical romance

In Belize City, a colony overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, artist Seraphina Treadwell watches three preadolescent sisters Amanda, Beatrice, and Camille. The parents of the young girls and her husband journey into the nearby jungle in search of the ruins of ancient civilizations. Six months pass without a word from the three travelers when word arrives that the missing father's brother has become an earl.Three months later, Seraphina and her three charges arrive at the London townhouse of their uncle Carden Reeves. The aristocrat wants nothing to do with his nieces because he now that he is the earl he enjoys his hedonist lifestyle and doesn't want children to change that. Carden persuades the impoverished Seraphina to watch his half-brother's litter so that the trio does not interrupt his activities. However, soon he falls in love with the four female intruders. They reciprocate, but her allegedly deceased husband shows up ready to cause trouble if it means filling his pockets.Historical romance readers will welcome this warm tale of a self-indulgent individual falling in love with the four female invaders. The story line entertains the troops as Seraphina takes Carden to task for his lack of commitment towards the welfare of his nieces. Though a suspense spin caused by her husband takes a little away from the strength of a powerful relationship drama, sub-genre fans will enjoy this tale and look forward to future stories starring Carden's pals finding responsibility worth living for.Harriet Klausner

I wish I'd written it!

An absolutely drop-dead hero and a fiesty heroine clash and spark their way to happily ever after. Lively and intelligent, a real keeper.
