Not as good as 'Governess Game'

Was hoping it would be as good at the other book in the series but sadly it was not. Found the characters a bit awkward and I was not strongly attached to the secondary plot. Not a total miss but still a bit disappointing after how wonderful the other book was!

Still a favourite of mine! A shorter love story which quirky characters that climbs to a heart-wrenching fever pitch! Beautiful ending and character development!

Roberts has outdone herself with this one! It is not only a compelling love story but is also a suspenseful murder mystery that connects back to the days of the Russian royal family - a complex and layered story which is reflected in its length. Not a fluffy read for someone who just wants a straightforward romance, but well worth the length for the emotional attachment you acquire for the characters and their relationships. Would highly recommend!

This is part of the 'Calhoun Women' series and is by FAR the best one of the lot! The male lead is surprisingly shy while the female lead is bold and loveable - a nice change from hypermasculinity and demure female damsels! The secondary story, the missing jewels from the family ancestor, adds an air of danger and mystery to the drama which was rather enjoyable.

I am a major fan of historical romances but rarely revisit the same story twice...until this wonderful book! Superb narration, feisty characters, and a lot of steamy scenes! MUST READ!

I have read many historical romances, especially those set in pre-Victorian times, and had low expectations for this romance. I was so wrong!! So wonderfully intriguing, fast-paced and human! The main characters are believable and flawed which makes their love that much more moving! Strong female lead paired with a strong male lead and a lot of humour and wit!
