Another great Layton story with recurring characters from "Return of the Earl" and "Alas, My Love." Daffyd Reynard, handsome, reckless, half-gypsy, "adopted" son of the Earl of Egremont, assists Margaret Shaw, respectable governess in a wealthy household, in tracking down her runaway seventeen-year-old charge.............

Daffyd is a interesting hero. Meg is a bit of an idiot, but at least she knows shes doing something idiotic.

A very pleasant read, though not a keeper for me. The chemistry between hero/heroine is more warm than sizzling. This is a "road" romance; hero and heroine are both searching for the same person and they end up traveling together thru most of the bk. The bk has a slower pace to it, which suited it well.
