Summary: An endearing and believable story
Review: I just finished this book and I must say it was an immense joy to read. The rating it TRULY needs is more like 4.5 stars.
I enjoyed it mostly because the plot was most realistic and it was possible to happen not only that but the characters themselves were well developed with a three deminsional history to go with them. This is the best choice of Evans Porter books to read if this is your first of this author.
The only thing that I felt was lacking was the ending. (Chapter 29 prior to epilogue) The story was well developed and the ending was good, but when I got to the last page, it seemed that it needed the slightest kick to give it more power.

Summary: cut above usual romances & with substance
Review: I was getting bored with the usual romances and needed to read one that had substance. I have read everything by my favorite authors (Laura Kinsale, Megan Chance, Linda Howard, Loretta Chase, etc) and can only wait for their new books. This was the refreshing answer. The characters are witty, intelligent and unique. She's an adventuress by necessity and he has to live by his wits. The rich details of the Isle of Man, horse racing and gambling reflect the author's good research. All around a good read.

Summary: Kudos to author for taking chances
Review: This is not your typical romance. The historical details are well-researched and pertinent to the story. The characters -- especially the heroine -- don't always do the right thing.However, several things kept me from loving it. One was the separation between the hero and heroine. Also, I was annoyed with the heroine from keeping important information from the hero, and for some of her truly deceptive actions near the end of the book. In addition, some of the subplots detracted from the story. Still, I am going to read this author's next book -- because she has the guts to do something different. I gave this book a C- at All About Romance.
