Amazing. My favorite author. This is part of a series. Friarsgate Series but stands alone as a marvelous read. Spicy and funny but mostly fiery and HOT
I have read everything she has written and make sure I get them in hard back. I love the way she writes and is able to draw you into the period she is using. Her Historical facts are increditably accurate and her discriptions let you visualize everything beautifully. I have yet to read a book by her that I didn't have a hard time putting down.
