Stephanie's back and all I can say is FINALLY! After my disappointment over Lauren's Black Cobra Quartet, I'm pleased to see she has returned to her standard style of writing. This book sounds more like she wrote it herself rather than possibly having a ghost writer for the BCQ. I believe Laurens should move on beyond the Cynsters and find something new to write but until she does that, she should stick with what she is known for.

I liked both the hero and heroine of the story. I agree with someone else saying the name Heather sounded too modern for 1829 but heather was a common growing plant in the British Isles so perhaps it's not that much of a stretch. Another thing I noticed is that Breckenridge's real name (Timothy Danvers) was not mentioned at all in the book until the epilogue. That struck me as a bit strange.

These minor criticisms aside, I enjoyed this book tremendously. I gave it my personal top rating of 4 stars. People who enjoy Laurens' early style of writing will enjoy this book. It is 100% Stephanie Laurens at her best. Welcome back Stephanie, you were missed!
