Really interesting read for Lorraine Heath. London, 1850 or so.
A slower start for my opinion, but a hero you had to love. Definately a twist at the end, not unexpected, but I just hoped for a different turn - the ramifications of which were just to "weird".
That being said, the characters developed nicely and the relationship was good. Not my favorite book from one of my favorite authors, but worth a quick read.

Second book in series. Will definitely read the third. I loved this character in the first book and looked forward to reading his story. As a reader who likes steamy love scenes, I think Lorraine Heath is more warm shower than steam room. But still good and the romance developed in a way that will have me reading more books by this author.

I really liked this book alot because it touched on some issues that most romance novels don't delve into. I really didn't like the ending because it was rather wierd/icky. However, I still recommend reading the book.

I liked this book! The story about each of these characters in the series has been excellent. A wonderful romp into the Rookeries of London and how you can overcome your situation whether by luck or hard work. The main characters are strong, know their minds and understand who they are. The storyline moves at a great pace, keeps you glued to the pages and the fun of watching how they will come together is a fun time. I like how she expands each character as the book goes on, you get a better idea and feeling for them. Wonderful.

This was a great follow up to the first book in the series, and a wonderful prelude to the next.

Well, I am hooked on another series. I really didn't think I would like Jack's story, but I really did. There is a little romance with all that goes along with it and a little mystery. Also, I like that the characters of this story are moving along with each book. Look forward to the next one! The story moves quickly, but there are a few scenes that could have hit the cutting room floor. They seemed only to lengthen the story not strengthen it. Recommend.
