I loved it!! The characters truly have a witty repartee - it's so tiresome when we are merely TOLD the characters are intelligent and witty, but we never SEE it. Not the case here! Let's see, we have the hero, a historical romance version of Dr House, Piers, who limps around his castle-cum-hospital in Wales being grumpy and brilliant, and we have the heroine, ...more

This book started quite slow. So slow, in fact that I considered putting it down. Then the two MC's met and the sparks just flew. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.

Spot on, as always. Eliosa is the queen of Regency Romance. There is none better. NONE.
Eloisa James is a good romance author her historical romances are nicely accomplished i like her historical notes.
