4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Regency 2 Jun 2003
By M. Rondeau - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
London and Scotland in the year 1816 is where this very lively tale by Cathy Maxwell takes place. It tells the story of Ian Campion, an Irishman who supports his two widowed sisters, nephews, and niece by whatever means he can, lately by bare fisted fighting for money. He is approached by one of the wealthiest men in England, Dunmore �Pirate� Harrell with an offer he cannot refuse, namely to find his daughter Lyssa, whom he thinks has been kidnapped, even though no ransom has been requested. After being introduced to Viscount Gorssett, the man Dunmore had betrothed Alyssa to, Ian believes she ran away from home to elude her snobbish fiancé.

Lyssa is a rather spunky lead character, who has effected her own escape by hiring a family of �gypsies� to escort her to Scotland, and the ancestral home of her deceased mother. Ian catches up with Lyssa, and her band of �gypsies� who he quickly routs out for the imposters that they are, but before he can return with her, ruffians attempt an ambush kill her. During Ian and Lyssa�s flight, they overhear the leader speaking and know that the road back to London will be watched so, Ian agrees to travel in the opposite direction of the road to London and complete her trip to bring her to Scotland. Along the way, the pampered wealthy heiress learns a few lessons of survival, human dignity and love, from the Irishman sent to bring her home.

This delightful Regency romance has two very likeable lead characters, who discover true love along the way. The chase through the countryside was not without the authors characteristic enjoyable dialog and sensual awakenings to new love. Toss in a little excitement of the chase, suspenseful escapes and fights and you have a wonderfully enjoyable read for a rainy afternoon! This has it all and I most definitely recommend this for fans of this genre.

2.0 out of 5 stars An adventure I can do without 12 Jun 2004
By S. Reader - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Cathy Maxwell seems to be one of those authors who runs either hot or col. This one falls into the cold territory.

Lyssa is spoiled, immature, and annoying. Ian is much too good for her. He's the best part of this novel, and his struggles against the prejudices of his Irish heritage ring true without beating the reader over the head with it (most of the time).

Most of Lyssa's adventures result from her selfish immaturity, thus making them senseless and rather annoying for the adult reader. A disappointment.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just couldn't get into it... 18 Feb 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I really enjoy Cathy Maxwell's books, but for some reason just had a difficult time getting into this book. It seems that many other liked it, but I just found the story obvious and a tad boring. Just my opinion though.
