This was actually the first Jude Deveraux that I read and it instantly had me hooked. It has all you need romance and intrigue.

Jude Deveraux at her best, a little mystery, a bit of romance, a good looking guy, a little wit. I truly enjoyed this book.

This is toward the top of my faves by Deveraux. I love the main character and how she learned to be independent after the death of her high powered husband that she was used to hiding behind.

More mysterious than most of Deveraux's books. Who and what are the Golden Six? How does their history affect the present. A nice love story, as usual, witty dialog, but more attention to the mystery.

Enjoyed this book. Good plot and well written. Kept my attention until the end and had a hard time putting it down.

I love this book - I've read it twice now and I can't wait to send it to someone who will love it as much as I do. Very readable with plot twists that keep you turning the pages.

I am not a fan of romance novels, and even though this one isn't exactly a romance novel, there is an element of it in the story. I really liked it and am sorry to hear that this is different from the author's usual style of writing. Definitely a page-turner; fun trying to piece together the twists and turns of the story. Not exactly a mystery, either, but kind of a nice blend of romance, mystery, and plain, old-fashioned storytelling.

I enjoyed watching the heroine come into her own. One of those books I didn't want to end, I felt as if the characters had become friends. I wanted to know what happens next in their lives...maybe there will be a sequel?

I love this book. After reading it, the first thing I started doing was looking for a mulberry tree of my very own (which I still haven't found). It touched my heart on a very special level and I recommend it strongly to anyone. Excellent author, one of my favorite books. I read it at least once a year.

I've read many Jude Deveraux books and have to this, this one was very different from the rest! Lots of romance the way we know from Jude D., but yet with a twist of mystery that kept me really interested in finding out exactly what happened. I didn't know until the very end! It was a very enjoyable read!
