5By j21969I really like her and will be reading more of her stuff.Good mystery & romance combination!
4By Crazybunnylady20The storyline was well-written, despite the plot being somewhat simple to figure out—there were a few twists that I didn’t expect! The characters developed nicely for being a somewhat shorter book, and the love that developed between them was palpable. I was equally interested in the secondary characters’ stories, and the author did well to keep the interest on the main characters while piquing a desire to learn more about the secondary’s background plot developments in a book of their own. As for the romance, there were a couple of passionate embraces and a few sexual scenes—something that I do wish I knew ahead of time as I usually lean more toward “clean” romances with more implicit than explicit writing. I really appreciate when authors choose to disclose the level or rating of “heat” in the descriptions of their books—but I often rely on the reviews of others if not, and let me say, to the saucy 80 yr old lady who labeled this a clean love story—you and me have different ideas of “clean” but I had a good laugh about it. Kudos to you, ma’am! :)Loving the Marquess

5By Daytona ChristianI liked this story. It’s great to have a mystery. Although I wished the book cover showed more of the hero. Fun to read . I will buy more of the author’s books.
