I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR EACH NEW BOOK BY AMANDA QUICK TO BE PUBLISHED. AM AN AVID FAN. ALTHO THIS ONE IS NOT AS GOOD AS SOME OF HER OTHERS. ie.MISCHIEF--AFFAIR STILL ALL IN ALL HER LADIES ALL LEND A BREATH OF FRESH AIR TO THE REGENCY PERIOD. HER LOVE SCENES ARE BELIEVABLE AND HER MEN ARE RATHER NICE EVEN WHEN PROVEN THAT THEY ARE NOT THE ANSWER TO EVERY MAIDENS PRAYERS. I LIKE IT WHEN THE BAD AND REALLY BAD GUYS GET THEIR JUST REWARDS. ALSO THE STREET CHILDREN ARE TREATED WITH RESPECT AND KINDNESS. ALL IN ALL A GOOD BOOK.
