Victoria Dahl has long been one of my favorite romance authors since she wowed me with her Tumble Creek series. From that moment on I have been trying to get my hands on every books that Ms. Dahl has written and Paperbackswap has been a huge friend in this. I got this book and read it almost immediately.

I love Ms. Dahl but this book didn't feel like her, I am assuming it is only because she was still maturing as a writer and this book is historical romance as all the other books I have read by her have been contemporary. I also found myself out of place with the heroine. I have read many books with a wild "ruined" heroine but Alex seemed a bit more wild that may be normal for her time period. Overall, a great story just those few things bugged me. (

It took me awhile to get into this historical romance but midway my interest picked up through the exciting finish yet characters had consistency issues and I wonder about the HEA. Collin is investigating his brother death that resulted from a public scandal caused by Lady Alexandra.

I had issues with the heroine - too modern by half and wasn't forthright with the hero.

Lady Wombat says:

Very much a first novel -- her later books are much stronger...

Ah, the tortured soul of the insecure. Very poignant conclusion, as Alexandra fights for Collin's respect and Collin's jealousy disappears in the light of his true feelings. Made me cry. (
