This is a fantastic read! Quinn’s best so far for me. She has an amazing way to draw you into the story from the first few pages and you’re smiling from the get-go right up to the end :) She even manages to take you on a sudden heart-breaking emotional roller coaster ride that really gives you the chills and makes you want to cry for the h/h as a couple. This contrasts so well with the rest of the light-hearted story making the situation all the more poignant.

The heroine Sophie is great and Benedict, who you never really hear from at the start of the series, is an incredibly loving hero. Makes you just sigh every time he says and does something –oh ya and then there’s his tenacity! He wants her and he’ll do whatever it takes to have her. He says to her quietly at one point:

“I can live with you hating me …. I just can’t live without you.”

Kill me why don’t you 8) You can literally feel his frustration breaking his soul when she rejects him time and again.

There’s this one steamy scene that will leave you panting when all is said and done! Big woo hoo there :D

Quinn’s story is exactly how I’d picture a regency romance to be. There’s a secret, a fab couple, believable problems, strong main characters as well as secondary characters, great sexual tension, brilliant writing and all set against a wonderful regency backdrop. This is the kind of novel you wish wouldn’t end, BUT there’s another book so the series continues!
