Rating:  - Impressive
I appreciated the tension this book has -- the wounded, relatively bitter two main characters (bitter for different reasons), who initially dislike each other, who can't be together without quarreling, but oh-so-gradually come to realize that they do love each other. I liked the way the author makes music the first bridge between them: Edward secretly listens to Rosalind struggling to play Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", and her tender rendition of Burns' "My Love's Like a Red, Red Rose" touches ...

Rating: - Very intense male character!
Edward, the Earl of Raymore, is one of those alpha unforgettable men you sometimes run across in a book.

Raymore and Rosalind strike sparks off each other from the moment they meet. He wants to marry her off as soon as he can; she wants ... Read More
