Enjoyable read with a few shortcomings.
31 May 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was my first Sari Robbins read and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a nice storyline and the characters were well-developed and likable. I liked that Edwina wasn't physically perfect, but capable of being desired all the same.
The love scenes were few and far between and a bit tame in my opinion. It was a sweet story that made for an interesting read.
Prescott was not my type of hero. He is haunted by his past, but he is generally an amiable, likable guy. I guess I just prefer the dark, brooding, tortured hero. Just a preference. ;)
3 1/2 stars.

excellent Regency romance
25 April 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In 1811 London, Prescott Devane has vowed to never be an escort again after overhearing the Ton talk about him with disdain. As he recovers from injuring his hands rescuing a little girl who was on fire at the orphanage where he was raised, he is also mentally shook up because of the murder of his mentor Headmaster Dunn and his best friend at the orphanage who married someone else and kept it a secret from him that she was an aristocrat in hiding.
Widow Lady Edwina Ross tries to hire Prescott as a fianc? to help her catch an aristocratic blackmailer. He says no until she mentions she has business ties at the docks that could help his ventures so he agrees. Then he kisses her; both are shook by the reaction. At the same time Spymaster Tristan Wheaton asks his retired mentor Sir Lee to unmask Alexander Quince who is blackmailing the Ton apparently using information gathered from espionage circles. As the two cases converge, Prescott and Edwinna fall in love, but he knows she is too good for him.
The fine lead couple whose diverse background serves as a key ingredient in the plot makes this an excellent Regency romance as their relationship slowly grows once respect occurs. The solid support cast especially her peers at the Society for Enrichment & Learning for Females and those at the orphanage add depth to understanding Prescott and Edwinna respectively. Though the climax seems too easy, fans will enjoy Sari Robin's latest "Anderson Hall" tale (see ONE WICKED NIGHT and MORE THAN A SCANDAL).

Fun Romance!
7 Dec 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I'm sort of surprised at the low reviews for this book. I thought it was a fun romp. I think the situations Edwina finds herself in are amusing, and I thought her and Prescott's relationship was sweet. Edwina is sort of a spinster type heroine, so it made me grin to see her fooling around with Prescott, who's got somewhat of a scandalous reputation. Of course, I wasn't expecting too much, having found this book left in a desk. I read a lot of romance though, and I thought this book was better than the norm. I had never read any books by Sari Robbins, so I had no idea this was book #3. I think I need to check out books #1 and #2, because Sari writes really well.
