....FROM START TO FINISH!!
The first reviewer says it all so well that I don't have to elaborate any more than has already been done in the above review. After reading a few Paranormals and a Christine Feehan recently, I felt the need to go back to one of my other favourite genres, Historical Romance; I was not disappointed when I picked this up and could not stop until I had reached the last lovely page. Reading this book was an assault on the senses that I haven't felt for quite a while and I loved every moment of it!
With a wonderful cast of characters and a great ending.
I have loved all Anna Campbell's books so I give 5 stars for the pleasure it brought to me. I will re-read this in the future when I have recovered sufficiently, of course.

Finally Anna Campbell delivers for me! I've always known she can write but her plots have tended to be a bit dark and sordid and the h is often treated badly by the H. This latest novel is much more uplifting - very romantic and passionate with a great H and h. It's also very witty and is packed full of humour.
10 years ago, Lady Antonia was ruined by a man and cast off by her father the earl. She is now disguised as Miss Smith and working as a chaperone for a distant cousin. However, the father of the cousin ruined the Marquess of Ranelaw's illegitimate sister and he has vowed revenge. His plan is to seduce and ruin the young cousin. Antonia is determined to protect her cousin from the Marquess. Antonia has first hand experience of how awful it is to be ruined by a man and she will not let it happen to her cousin. Antonia and the Marquess clash - lots of chemistry and super hot sex scenes that are very romantic - and end up falling in love. A very happy ending.
Antonia and the Marquess are both strong characters. Their dialogue is lively and original and the development of their attraction believable. The only reason I have not given this 5 stars is because I would have liked at least one ball where Antonia has taken back her rightful place in society and can show off the beauty she has had to hide for years.
This is the first AC novel that I am keeping to read again. I really hope her next novel is as good.

This is the third book I've read by this author, and once again, I'm not disappointed.
Well known womaniser and rake, Nicholas Challoner, the Marquess of Ranelaw is out for revenge. He will seduce Cassandra, the daughter of his enemy, Godfrey Demarest, a man who ruined his sister, and now lives in Ireland as a nun. He thinks the plan will work easily, but then he meets Cassandra's chaperone, Miss Antonia Smith.
Despite her glasses and dowdy appearance, Ranelaw is drawn to Antonia, but Antonia is aware his designs on Cassie aren't honourable, and is determined to protect her. But Ranelaw isn't put off, and doesn't see why he can't learn more about Antonia, as well as seduce Cassie.
But Antonia is hiding a secret, known only to Cassie and her father. They grow closer, and Antonia can't hide her temptation. But she's been stung before, and can't risk her heart again. She hopes Ranelaw will leave Cassie alone, but he tells her he can't. All the while, they are trying to unearth each others secrets, whilst fighting their attractions. And just when Ranelaw believes he's finally got his woman, Antonia's past catches up with her and decisions have to be made. What will Antonia choose?
Overall, the book was excellent. Nicholas and Antonia are perfectly matched, and it was fun to watch their love unfold.
Now to choose which unread Anna Campbell to read next.
4/5
