Altho the title/name of heroine is kind of over the top, the story is
well written with strong charcters, tension just right. The story centers around the heroine's search for her birth father, her only clues being a few love letters,a magnificent sapphire and a vague story. Fun secondary characters and good follow thru.

Good Read!
excellent read could not put it down
Excellent book!The heroine is very spunky and independant and brings a cocky Blake Thixton to his knees.
It is a very good book. Sapphire is taken to London for her father to give her his last name, but she discovers that her father died. But she is still bound and determined to get the name that she thought she was entitled to. I enjoyed it very much.
Standard RR fare: lots of huffing, foot-stamping outrage from the heroine and aggressive, overpowering kisses/behavior from the hero. The positive difference in this book is the heroine's actions to take control of her life.
I really enjoyed this book. Sapphire is a strong character and the story flows well.
