“The novel’s parade of complicated characters is set against a compelling backdrop of Victorian England, with all the fashion and technological changes of the era. Kleypas is a masterful writer, and her latest offering will be welcomed by fans old and new.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Picking up where Cold-Hearted Rake leaves off, this engaging tale brings class bias, illegitimacy, and assorted social issues of the Victorian era into sharp focus and seamlessly continues the series while hinting at escapades to come. Beautifully done.” — Library Journal

“Emotional depth, appealing characters, strong storylines and sexual tension are what make Kleypas’ novels reader favorites...but what will truly captivate them is watching the characters grow as love makes them the best they can be. A lovely, unforgettable story.” — RT Book Reviews (4 1/2 stars) Top Pick!
