Review "Lady Catherine chafes against the restrictions placed upon females of her era. Then this rule breaker butts heads with another rule breaker, an enigma of a man who is equal to her skills at deception and equally dedicated to defending the helpless. A fun historical read that will please fans of the genre.""I love it when I find a new author! I really like the fact that this isnt one of those books where the "reluctant heroine" is forced into a romance with a rake. Yuck. The heroine in this story is strong, and she and the hero are attracted to each other because they have stuff in common. The chemistry is really spot on. Hows that for a change? I found the story suspenseful, interesting, romantic, and un-put-downable. ""I just finished this book and could not put it down, It grabbed my interest from the first page and didnt let go. I love stories about women who follow their own star and dont let anyone interfere with what they want and believe. A great book and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a great story."
