Recommended to Li by: Loved her previous Charles & Melanie books
Read in April, 2011 — I own a copy

It has been quite a while waiting for this book, and it was a pleasure to sink back into Tracy Grant's complex world of Regency intrigue.

I love how things were not always what they appear to be at first glance, and how Ms Grant peels away the layers of the various relationships in this book, each reveal providing a fresh take on things. Melanie and Charles' relationship remains rather complicated - the revelations in the previous books have put their marriage at risk, but they are both determined to work at it and learning to trust each other again. Painful, but potentially so rewarding.

I will say the sheer number of characters and the rather intricate political plotting lost me at times - possibly not helped by it being years since I've read the previous two books. But I have the latest book, Vienna Waltz, in my TBR pile, and am looking forward to reading more in Ms Grant's world.

Estara It's on my TBR as well, but then I only discovered this series this year.


message 2: by Li (new) - rated it 3 stars

Li I think it would definitely have been useful had I re-read the previous books before diving into this one, only having vague memories of who was who didn't exactly help me figure out the plot.
