An explosive, beguiling and witty romp!

What a delightful wickedly witty read. I immediately fell in love with Vesta and Hew from the very beginning. The chemistry between them ignites from their first meeting, especially on Vesta's part.

Vesta is eighteen, just arriving in London to participate in her first season. Once she sees Hew in all his military finery, she falls hard. Hew doesn't see her as alluring, so she sets out to get him to notice her.

This story takes the reader on a exciting and humorous ride, where Vesta kidnaps Hew and takes him out on the high seas, so she can convince him that she's the right woman for him.

All I'll say is the ending sizzles with passion and has a very surprising climax, which caught me unaware. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves historical romance. Ms. Vane is a master at building the historical background and setting. I think this story is even better than A Wild Night's Bride!
