Good Story, Not Transporting, though, 21 July 2004

I really liked the basic idea of the story line, but I wish it had been a bit more realistic. Great things could have been done with the premise, but they weren?t. Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I like historical accuracy in my historical romances. The idea of a mistress (at least the mistress of anyone less than a royal duke, anyway) being included in ton parties is ludicrous, as is the heroine's fretting about her reputation. What reputation? She's someone's acknowledged mistress! She has no reputation. So, over all, not a bad book, but not a keeper either.

This was a really fun read. What I loved was how, on their first meeting, the hero thinks the heroine has snubbed him. From then on, she's got an uphill battle to win his heart. This author is great with character, has a sense of humor and the romance is steamy. I highly recommend it.

unlike some of the other reviewers I enjoyed this book. The hero is a decent, hardworking ex-bow street runner who now has his own agency. The heroine, a "lightstocking", a woman who is being kept by a lord as a mistress. The villans are truly villanous, the supporting cast are fun. Yes, some of the story is inplausible but it IS romance people. Just relax, and enjoy yourself:) I've read better but many more that are much worse. At least B++ sex, likable cast that you'll want to win, and great ending. If you like regency with a twist, then give this book a try.
