Reviews

"Regency romances never seem to lose their popularity and fans of Amanda Grange won't be disappointed in this one. The story is well plotted and we have no difficulty in believing that the strong-minded Eleanor Grantham would be driven to desperate measures in her efforts to protect her younger sister from a blackmailer. When she meets the mysterious Earl of Silverton, the scene is set for abduction, espionage, treachery and murder...Both hero and heroine are attractive characters and we follow their adventures with interest as the tale moves along at a cracking pace. Amanda Grange is not afraid of dialogue and she uses it to good effect as she takes us into the privileged world of the rich in 1810." - Margaret Crosland, Historical Novel Society

"This is another sprightly romance from Ms Grange, the author of five other novels all published by Robert Hale. She has the right light touch. As well as romance she has woven in mystery, murder and various other plot twists and turns and with the added delight of the usual balls and parties . . . This ought to appeal to anybody who likes their romances seasoned with mystery." -Rachel Hyde, My Shelf
