This is the first historical romance that I have read by Ms. Cameron. I was a bit skeptical since I LOVE her contemporary books. But this took me by surprise. It is a good suspense story with a wonderful unexpected twist that will leave readers with their mouths open. The love story between Lily and Oliver is equally wonderful. Lily being an "old maid" of 25 knows her mind and trusts this man with her"mysteries" as he will with his. I enjoyed it ! I will eagerly look for other books in this genre by her and hope they are as entertaining as this one.
A superb reading experience
