Helpful Score: 1
Good romance; slightly different than the usual, since it's set in New Orleans and many characters are French instead of British. Nice change from the norm.

An unusual time period for a typical romance novel.
This was excellent reading. The plot was kept you thinking about what was going to happen, right up to the ending. Very good ending!!!
LOVED IT! Made me smile and cheer and laugh and even get mad!
They are the notorious swordsmen of New Orleans, bound by a brotherhood of loyalty, skill and courage--infamous by day, dangerous at night, loyal only to each other and the women they love
At ease making life-and-death decisions between breaths, maître d'armes Nicholas Pasquale proposes marriage to a beautiful and desperate stranger, a woman who offers comfort to his irascible young charge and calmly tells him the boy needs a mother. It is a challenge he can't resist.
Nor can Juliette Armant. Though pledged to the church since infancy, she's been summoned to save her family in the only way possible...by marriage.

But someone is determined to stop the wedding, willing to go to desperate lengths to claim the chest, plunging Juliette into a fight to claim a legacy and a love worth any price.
