      Love it!!!
    • 3/5
      A good effort marred by inconsistencies. There is no physical description of the heroine at the start so the reader is left wondering who she is. The hero is described in loving detail. The heroine's tarnished past is alluded to but never explained satisfactorily. Ditto her upbringing; many allusions to her cold father but no exposition at all. The threads of that part of the story never feel complete.
    • 3/5
      I really wanted to like this book. The hero and heroine were intriguing and I liked the mistaken identity plot device. But, the plot jumped all over the place. We'd be moving along nicely and then bam, one character would do something completely out of place. At a few points I actually checked page numbers because I thought I had a book that was put together incorrectly. Also, the plot was dependent on too many characters. There were at least 15 central characters who were key to the plot development. Trying to remember that many character's names and titles (since they are called by both) and relationships is just frustrating.I'll read Katharine Ashe in the future since I saw a lot of promise in the book and hope that her next book is more cohesive.
