This was one of my first smut books and I loved it. I just reread it and still love it! S.T. is a great hero. What I love about Laura Kinsale is that she gives her heroes flaws. S.T. is so endearing trying to be the dashing highwayman he used to be. However, he has balance problems and has trouble even standing up quickly, let alone swinging his sword. The heroine sometimes gets on my nerves because she is so hateful and unappreciative of S.T.'s attempts to help her. But S.T.'s charm more than makes up for it. Still an enjoyable book after all these years. This book has a permanent spot on my favorites shelf.

I disliked this book and had to force myself to finish it. The hero, S.T. Maitland is a likeable guy. An aging highwayman with infirmities due to an explosion. The heroine, Leigh Strachan, is irritating, rude and aggravating beyond measure. The interplay between the two should have been good but she is just bitchy. All in all, something to be skipped at all costs. Definitely not worth reading.

A flawed hero with a secret. Classic Kinsale.

Laura Kinsale's books are alway different. Loved this one about a Highwayman who was injured and a woman after revenge. Good one.
