This is the first book by Ms. Stone that I read and while I enjoyed the story, I felt the romance was lacking a bit. Certainly, there was sex...lots of it as a matter of fact. Maybe a bit too much. I found myself skipping over some of those scenes.

The heroine was a thoroughly modern woman with an attitude towards sex and relationships that were somewhat ahead of her times. The hero, on the other hand, seemed more in tune with the morals of his time. It's my opinion that he may have been a bit taken back by Cassie's forwardness. Of course, like any man, he won't refuse at what's being offered.

I liked Rob Erskine, Cassie's brother, and the part he played with his rockets and motor car. I see potential for his character. I wonder if the author is considering letting him grow up a bit more and find his own lady love.

Overall, I enjoyed the story and the characters and gave it a rating of 4 stars (actually 3.5...but I can't split hairs on this rating system). I'm looking forward to the other books in this series and I do recommend this author and her works to others who enjoy reading stories set in Victorian England.
