Given the fact that one of my biggest pet peeves in plot devices is H/h drowning in misunderstandings that threaten to destroy them while refusing to SPEAK to each other and clear them up, four stars is actually a miracle for me. Understanding others may not have the same prejudices, however, Ms. Eden's quality won't be penalized.
Aside from said fact that the characters spend the entire book angst ridden by their own stupidity (the not talking thing,) this is a very sweet, well-written story. One that delivers a nice escape without added steam.

This is the first I have read this author. I enjoyed the book, at a time when I need something light. It was an easy quick read.
Having finished Courting Miss Lancaster shortly before reading this, this one is as dark as the other is light. Heavier subject matter in this one and while I know it explained much about Catherine I still can't see myself wanting to read this one again. I'm sure it will help to have Philip & Jason introduced if I read more in this series but as it was with Seeking Persephone I found myself reaching a climax in the story only to find the book was over a few pages later. There was nothing wrong with the writing per se, I just have a heavy heart after reading about her uncle and still don't understand what it was about if not the money.
