Customer Reviews

what a book!

I've had this book on my tbr pile for a long long time. I don't know why I kept putting it off. I should have known an Anne Stuart book is a worth-while read. It seems that this is one of her earlier works and I found this book quite by accident. I've read all her newest works and I can say she's one heck of an author! Her characters are not the typical carbon copy hero or heroine! Simply a must read!

Delightful!

This a fun and heartwarming book. As one of my favorite authors, she is always good at including every character in her plot, which makes it much more fun! The relationship between all of the characters is so rich and entertaining that it makes it hard to put this book down! With the dainty sense of humor and the chivalrous back ground, I would say this book is highly recommended!

Confusion Reigns!

Valerian Romney is wrongly accused of his father's murder and flees disguised as the wife of his older brother Phelan. In disguise he falls in love with a confused Sophie whom he must resist due to his disguise. Meanwhile, Phelan falls for Juliette, who is fleeing an abusive husband disguised as a boy. With everyone's efforts to remain disguised and yet resist the person they love, the story becomes very funny. But--there is still a killer and an abusive husband to deal with, and when the book reaches its frightening climax, the scene is the equal of any thriller you have ever read. A funny, romantic, and in the end, exciting book, well worth reading and rereading. Ms. Stuart has done it again!
