The women of the Chase family are known for their sweets, and the recipes and associated legends add an extra bit of flavor (sorry about that!) to this entertaining Regency romance.
Duty is Alexandra's middle name. As the oldest sister, she's always done what was expected, and always put her family first. She's been in love with Tristan since she was a young girl, but knew he wasn't meant for her and that he was expected to marry well. She's on the verge of doing so when Tristan shows up, with a title and a scandal, and her duty is still clear, but it's suddenly much more difficult to resign herself.
These star-crossed lovers are engaging, sympathetic characters, as are the rest of the Chase family. I'm looking forward to the rest of the books in this series.
