Review by: John Whelan on Feb. 18, 2013 :
Definitely not Georgette Heyer's standard of writing. Perhaps set in the same time period, disappointing.

I'm fast becoming a fan of Georgian romances, thanks to this series of books!

Review by: Donna Cooke on April 18, 2012 :
Not a fan of the romance genre generally, but couldn't put this one down despite wanting to slap both the main characters. Beautifully crafted and extraordinarily well researched escapism!! Well done, Ms Brant.

Review by: Carol on June 20, 2011 :
An interesting historical romance, in an interesting setting. The book is dominated by dialogue rather than description with some action at points. The motivation of the villains has layers to it that reveal themselves as the book progresses.

Review by: Morgan Muir on April 03, 2011 :
This is a quaint little romance novel, it took me a while to get comfortable with all the dif. characters with french titles and names. That said it was a pleasant read.

Review by: Andrea Grant on Dec. 11, 2010 :
Historical Romance at its best! Reminded me of a classic swashbuckler movie with a nasty villain you want to boo at every time he appears, an arrogant hero who doesn't suffer fools, and a happy-go-lucky heroine who brightens everyone's day. I've read it twice already and will read again (after I read the sequel!) Great entertainment!

A GREAT read. I could hardly put it down. Kept thinking one more page. Thoroughly enjoyed. Can't wait to read the sequel 'Midnight Marriage.'
