An easy read, but kept my interest.

Tinged with just the right blend of humanity, romance, and suspense to produce an intelligent page-turning read with a story line that is enticingly unpredictable.

I really enjoyed this book. It is an easy and fast read. A good escape.
Goudge's characters seem real and she writes with great detail.
I started this and not my genre. Others may enjoy the scandlous affair story line. It is number one of a trilogy.
