Reviews:
This is a very promising author with a sure touch for those of you who like the traditional type of regency, particularly those that follow the path set out by the great Georgette Heyer. – Susan Smith

Hazel Statham's historical romance has everything that makes a reader want to keep turning pages to find what exciting things are going to happen to our hero and heroine next. Of course, we all know that there is going to be a happy ending, but the way she gets us there will make us want to draw a warm bubble bath and relax with candles, a glass of wine, and Dominic - Mary Kunkle
