I was getting really excited about this book and absolutely loved it until about 3/4 of the way through. Both hero and heroine are great characters, its extremely well written and very witty, great dialogue, excellent scene setting and period detail and some very moving insights into their backgrounds and past history but for me there was not enough tension between the two characters to make a really great love story. They were obviously made for each other, they were attracted to each other, they got married, they acknowledged their love. There were not ever really any serious obstacles in their path. The drama/tension is provided by a rather unbelievable baddie who never really threatens either the heroine or the relationship. Thus the declaration of love when it eventually comes lacks any kind of emotional punch. Not very satisfying in the end although it seemed so promising at the start.
PS: I should add that this only gets 3 stars from me because Loretta Chase is generally so brilliant that my expectations are very high. By most other measures this would be a four star book but I want more from LC.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, amusing, well written, good sense of place/history. A previous review gives the book only 3 stars but I believe it deserves the 5 stars I have given it. The heroine, Zoe, was amusing and the hero, Lucien, masterful but reserved and somewhat bewildered with Zoe, the story seemed historically accurate. Loretta Chase is getting back on form.

First, read ALL the reviews, take the positives out of all of them, take the negatives with a little pinch of salt, read and enjoy. I enjoyed the lack of irritation that comes with stupid misunderstandings that we normally have and it was comfortable for once.
This is a light read but skilful as ever, with real English. It filled in three nights before sleep for me and I it was lovely.
