About this ebook

From USA Today, RITA-nominated author Anthea Lawson comes this full-length Victorian romantic adventure full of wit, adventure, and plenty of passion! Searching for more fun and sexy romance like Bridgerton? Give this series a try!

Miss Lily Strathmore has made a desperate bargain. One last adventure abroad with her botanist uncle and his family, and then she will do as her parents bid and wed the proper (and boring) viscount her mother has selected as Lily's ideal husband.

James Huntington is on a mission. Retrieve his grandfather's lost journals from the wilds of Tunisia, and win the estate and fortune he so desperately needs. This quest will be the making of him--or his ruin.

Thrown together on a botanical expedition, James and Lily's attraction is immediate, and impossible. Despite every reason to keep their distance, the two find themselves inexorably drawn together as they race to reach a hidden valley before their enemies can bring all their dreams crashing down.

This was one of the most infuriatingly frustrating book I've ever read - or try to read, anyway. I loved the plot and hated the execution. Reggie, playing the villain, was painted just a tad over the top with the result that I skipped to many paged that eventually I lost interest in the story altogether. So unpleasant was it, that I actually stopped reading before I came to the end. I actually don't even care whether the two love birds came together. I will definitely not be reading more of this author's books.

A conniving brat grown too big for the sound paddling he most surely deserves, a man whose word means more than his own happiness and a woman at risk, caught between them.

Historical Romance. The American author who wrote this (set in England) describes the night sounding of crickets which do NOT survive in this climate. Apart from that very small error, I LOVED IT!
