An exciting, sensual, engrossing romance with great characters.
A Good look at the mental institutions in England in the nineteenth century.
An excellent work of Kat Martin.
Kat Martin never lets you down when it comes to a good read.
i absolutely love this book. very heart-warming and also very suspenseful. its better than a movie! i coudlnt put it down! kat martin will always be one of my favorite authors
This is one of the most sensual, engrossing romances I had read in a long while. A friend casually gave me this book a few years ago and I've been reading everything Kat Martin publishes ever since. Kat mixes historical information with sensual romances that keep you turning the pages. This one is great!
Thought that the main character, Kathryn, pushed Lucien's love a little too far with her lies and omissions. Would like to see a little more of the strong man, instead of one who is so easily persuaded by the sexual act.
Kat Martin has another book that is a page turner. I really enjoy the her books and was not disappointed in this one.
The story of Lucien and Kathryn was full of adventure and passion. Kathryn Grayson is a smart, intelligent woman born in the wrong century. She wants desperately to work as a doctor, but it only gets her into trouble. So much trouble, in fact, she winds up in an insane asylum. Her greedy and villainous uncle is behind her horrid treatment, and she becomes desperate to save herself. Lucien becomes her saving grace more than once, and their relationship is full of ups and downs. Lucien is downright yummy. He's dark and passionate, and the image Kat Martin paints of him on several occasions was just wonderful. He's as aristocratic as they come, but he has a soft side to him as well. This makes him endearing and likeable.

Vicious uncle plots to seize the fortune of the lovely Kathryn by committing her to an insane asylum. She, however, has other plans. Strong characters with some sizzle.
