A quick, engaging and delightful read, with well developed characters and a healthy dollop of romance.
Amazon Review, 5 stars
These authors infused this story with so much heart and depth so that I got ever so much more than I was expecting.
Bookbub review, 5 stars
It has been a long time that a book without any serious bedroom action besides some kisses have gripped my attention quite like this one. I could not put it down.

“Sir, I beg you to come no nearer to me!”
“I cannot be sure we would not be overheard, and I should prefer it if we could be discreet until—ow! Bloody hell, what did you do that for?”
He staggered away from her, clutching at his arm. The arm Adelaide had stabbed with the letter opener. She dropped it on the ground in horror and shook her head.
“I’m sorry! I-I did not mean to do that! I only wanted to warn you away. You frightened me with the things you were saying, but I-I never meant to hurt you.”
“The things I was saying? What do you—oh, good God! Please tell me you did not think I was attempting to seduce you?”
“If not that, then what was your intention in asking to speak to me privately?”
He did not answer and instead lifted his hand away from his arm to inspect the wound. “This is a fine beginning—I finally find my long-lost sister, and she tries to stab me!”
