I was getting bored with the usual romances and needed to read one that had substance. I have read everything by my favorite authors (Laura Kinsale, Megan Chance, Linda Howard, Loretta Chase, etc) and can only wait for their new books. This was the refreshing answer. The characters are witty, intelligent and unique. She's an adventuress by necessity and he has to live by his wits. The rich details of the Isle of Man, horse racing and gambling reflect the author's good research. All around a good read.
Loved it!

This was a good read. Two likable characters, one great romance. At first, I was afraid that this was another book with a naive and slightly stupid woman, but she wasn't. Garrick was very sweet and he did somethings that would endear any woman. I highly recommend this book!
Utterly Charming!

I truly enjoyed this book--it had a good plot charming characters and a sweet love story. The hero Garrick, was handsome, sexy and thoughtful. I was afraid that Lavinia was going to be another beautiful young and brainless girl (entirely too innocent and naive) but she evolved into a wonderful heroine--smart, strong with an inate goodness. I liked them--they were likable. There were things that Garrick did in the story which endeared me to him. This book is extremlely good. I enjoy Regency and feel fortunate to have discosvered Margaret Evans Porter. I recommend "Road to Ruin", one of her earlier works. It does not have a passionate scene but it has a terrific plot that pulls a little on your heart strings.
Sweet, sensual, and utterly delightful!
