5.0 out of 5 stars The Heroine Puts the Rogue in His Place!, September 21, 2003

Setting - England 1813 - The very lovely Miss Evelyn Amherst mourning her father had come home to England to carry out his last dying wish. Although, she had hated the conspiracies and the intrigues of the life he lived, she loved and was proud of his commitment and loyalty to his country. As he lay dying in her arms he made her promise to return to England to collect her inheritance then leave as quickly as possible for her safety's sake. Having not set foot on English soil for nearly 12 years she really did not know anyone. Lord Justin Barclay was a distant relative many times removed and had arranged for her to stay at his Aunt's home. Justin was handsome enough to turn any ladies head but Evelyn was determined it wouldn't be hers and difficult as it would be, she would try to learn the truth surrounding her father's death.

Lord Justin Barclay, handsome and titled, was not all as he appeared. He'd been working undercover as a spy for some years now and because of family connections he was selected to ferret out the secrets of Evelyn's father's last assignment. As beautiful as Evelyn turned out to be he looked forward to spending time with his very lovely new assignment. What he was not expecting was to be so enchanted that rather than looking to entrap her and prove her of treasonous activities, he would be more apt to prove her innocence.

This was my first book by this author and I was totally immersed in the romance and mind twisting intrigue almost from the very first pages. This was a difficult book to lay aside both from a sensual and mystery standpoint. Just when you would think that circumstances between the two protagonists were settling into a set pattern for the usual historical romance scenario, another betrayal event would set you off down another road of twists and turns keeping the intrigue level high! And if the intrigue doesn't keep your interest piqued the sensual by-play certainly should! Sprinkled throughout you are introduced to some very strong and vivid secondary characters as well that I certainly hope to see expanded upon for sequels. I'd love to see what happens to Angel Arolas when cupid finally targets him! However, one of the aspects that I truly enjoyed in this story was to see such a strong caring heroine, turn what appeared as a strong and self assured gentleman into a `real' man who ended up taking charge of his life to suit what was best for him! This was an extremely satisfying read and one that I highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars You won't be able to put it down!, August 3, 2003

This book is fast paced and sexy. You'll fall in love with these characters. Evelyn Amherst, the heroine, is intelligent, savvy and more street smart than any character I've come across in a romance novel. Definitely more street savvy than high society realizes. She has to be.
Justin Barclay is a man looking for a way out. He's tired of the double life he's been leading and the guilty burden he's been carrying for far too long. His secrets are killing him.
Both these people start off using each other as pawns. For Evelyn, Justin is an innocent escort through a world she left long ago and needs to master once again in order to save herself. For Justin, Evelyn is his last assignment- if he plays his cards right.
Once you crack the spine on this one, you'll be hooked. The writing is GREAT. The characters truly come to life. The mystery will absolutely keep you rivetted. If you want an incredible escape, this is a no-brainer. BUY THIS.

I just couldn't stay interested in this book. I wanted to. I wanted to root for these characters but I just wasn't feeling it. Perhaps there should have been a little more character development in the beginning and more interaction to develop the relationship. It tends to go off on thoughts for too long that are also repetitive. I could not feel the emotion between the characters and found their obstacles boring. It seemed like it was supposed to very suspenseful, but it wasn't. Angel would be a good character for another book...if there isn't one already. This is the first book I've read by this author. I just think there should be more work on developing the emotional connections of the characters (between all of them) and better editing of their thoughts. These were likeable characters and I think they were sold short in this one.
