The glitter of Restoration England is expertly evoked. Liberally laced with intrigue and danger, the book's quicksilver plot is nicely counterbalanced by the romance. —Booklist (American Library Association)

This lively Restoration romance…is filled with likable characters, particularly Kendra, who takes the refreshing step of talking to her husband about his confusing behavior rather than generating conflict by jumping to conclusions. [Trick's] interactions with his family are drawn with charm and warmth … an impressive talent. —Publishers Weekly (Forecasted review)

…brings 17^th Century England vividly alive…fast-paced and filled with action from the first page to the climax. —Midwest Book Review

…a tremendous Restoration romance. The storyline runs quite deep due to the lead couple. Trick is a captivating protagonist with major problems, but it is the likable and honest Kendra who makes the storyline flow. Her simply asking Trick what bothers him rather than the usual leap to a false conclusion is incredibly refreshing and yet never slows down the pace of the plot. The return of the stars from the previous tales add depth and warmth to a strong conclusion to a powerful tale that is clearly part of a royal flush. —Harriet Klausner (5-star review!)

Historical novels offer two important elements to a reader: entertainment and a dose of history that doesn't disrupt the magic of the story.

... a precious jewel. It captures the true essence of Scotland with a tale of strength and endurance that thrives primarily on human spirit…a powerfully crafted story filled with the history of the times…romance with enough adventure to keep the reader turning the pages. —Suzie Housley, MyShelf.com

A thoroughly enjoyable read! —Thea Candee, The Romance Readers Connection
