Thirty years after being switched at birth by his father's mistress and left at the doorstep of Viscount Hunsington where he was raised in a loving environment, Calum Innes returns to London to claim all of what is rightfully his including the Dukedom. Calum wants it all, everything that the impostor, the Duke of Franchot has including his finance Lady Philipa Chauncey.

Lady Phillipa (Pippa) eventually succumbs to Calum's advances but when she discovers the reason behind his pursuit she is furious and wants nothing to do with him. She also believes she is honor bound to marry the man she has been betrothed to since birth.

This story was good, a little different than many I have recently read but at times it seemed to drag. I liked Calum but sometimes he seemed a little too good or perhaps I just prefer a but more darker rouge type. For the great wrong that was done this man one would have seemed he would have turned out a little more ruthless. he seemed to accepting. I guess there is a lot to be said for a loving environment which of course was the Scottish home he was raised in.

Pippa was an interesting heroine too but she didn't quite overly excite me either. I guess too I prefer a little more true romantic moments. The romance was not a significant element of the story. I will read the others in this series but hope they get a little more interesting. Just three stars for me.

Stella Cameron is wonderful!"CHARMED"was brilliant.The storyline was great the characters,exciting and diverse.The only problem i had with "CHARMED" was Saber!I was so intrigued by his character that i couldn't get him out of my head.I loved Justine too!I can't wait to read the books written about them,"BELOVED" and "BRIDE".I am deffinately going to give her modern romances a go!Her books are very hot!

This second book in the Rossmara series was wonderful. I could not put it down. I read the other review and then checked with my friends. They all loved it as much as I did.

Maybe something got lost in the translation.

I BOUGHT THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT TELLS THE STORY OF CALUM INNES, WHO WAS FEATURED IN THE BEAUTIFUL AND SENSUAL "FASCINATION." UNFORTUNATELY, THE 'MAGIC' HERE SEEMS TO BE MISSING. IT REALLY DRAGGED A LOT--I STUCK WITH IT AS LONG AS I COULD AND ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF THE WAY, I GAVE UP.
