This is an older book that I had not read until now. Ms. Robards does not disappoint, the characters were engaging and the plot had it's twist. I liked this book, it well written and kept my interest.
This is a great book. I really enjoyed the fact that the hero and love interest wasn't a prince or some other wealthy, high-status gentleman.
I like Karen Robards historicals almost as much as I do her current ones.
He was the tawny, golden-eyed king of London's underworld. She was an aristocratic heiress, born to the satin sheets of an ancient family. Their two proud hearts struck a flame that would consume them both in the blaze of a love that no society could allow-and a passion that neither could deny. Very enjoyable book, as all ov hers are.
