This book is definitely worth a credit! Lorraine Heath has become one of my favorite historical romance authors. There's just a little bit *more* to her books, somewhat like Elizabeth Hoyt. This book has an original premise, great interaction between the H/H, and of course great passion. I gave it 4 1/2 stars, and the only reason it wasn't a 5 star for me was that I felt that the original conflict that had occured between the H/H was just a little bit too repititive at the beginning. But once the love story got cooking, I couldn't put it down!

A pretty good read, the storyline is more original than most of the other books, great characters and intrigue. Didn't lag and keep my interest.

Wow, I ALMOST gave this book a perfect 5 stars! In fact, by page 300, I was planning to place it on my Keeper Shelf. The first 80% of the book had an excellent story line with witty dialogue. In addition, the tempo of the growing romance between H/h was just about right. (I admit I am a sucker for the separated-then-reunited redemption storyline.)

Then, sadly, when the HEA ending was almost in sight, Ms. Heath pulled out not one, not two but THREE (3!) cliches to bring the story to its conclusion:
a) BIG Misunderstanding
b) Tragedy/Ultimate Crisis
c) Last Desperate Attempt by Predictable Villain

This combination caused me to change my score from 5 to 4--and prompted me to post the book to the next reader. I would expect a writer of Ms. Heath's talents to find at least one interesting twist. But, she's a favorite of mine so maybe my expectations were too high

Still, I give this book a very high score and highly recommend it. (I'll be interested to see if the ending causes a reaction from any other reviewers.)
