Working my way through the Survivor's Club series, I've been sure that Imogen, Lady Barclay, would have a harrowing story to tell. The truth was worse than my imaginings. The author chose Imogen to keep her misery to herself through most of the novel. Thus, when it was told, the story was even more shattering.

Having read all of the others in the series, I had come to look at Imogen as a cold fish. However, the author did a beautiful job of showing the truth behind Imogen's tight control of her emotions. Percival Hayes, Earl of Hardford, is a perfect foil for Imogen; he is light-hearted and loved by his family and friends. He has been floating through life since his days at Oxford.

Adding the plotline about the smuggling on the Cornwall coast gave Percy the opportunity to show what he was made of to the people of Cornwall and Imogen. This was a thoroughly enjoyable novel.
