“Another great read from Johanna Lindsey. Her style of writing is great as well as an interesting and complex story line. Loved this book”

“I was always skeptical of romance novels. Actually, I still am to a degree. But, a friend of mine told me that many of them are just stories like any other book, with a few short scandalous scenes. This was my first attempt at a romance novel.

I really liked it. 1800's era. England. Great characters. Interesting story with a crazy twist at the end. The mere 2 sex scenes in the book were much more tame than I have read in other books. ”
“Didn't like it as much as the others, but it was still a relatively good read.”

I love dangerous romance heroes. What can I say? I was tempted, despite my limited financial funds to buy the book when it came out (from Walmart at a considerable discount), but since money wasn't good I elected to wait. And lo and behold, my patience was rewarded when I found it at the library. I finished the book in 2 days (because I saw three movies also in that time period), and I was totally satisfied.

Sebastian Townshend is in a word, a fantastic hero, despite his flaws: broody, rude, short-tempered. But also principled, vulnerable, and heroic. I pictured Christian Bale with a ponytail: tall, brawny, beautiful, brownish eyes, brooding. Perfection. Although I could not find an actress who fit Maggie's description, I had a very good picture of her in my head. This book definitely had elements that I love in my romance novels: dark, brooding hero, with an air of danger, who is disgraced for a past event that isn't totally his fault. A strong-willed, intelligent heroine who can handle him. And loads of chemistry. Sebastian's sexuality fairly erupted off the page. He makes such a very determined assault on Maggie's virtue that I know if I were in her shoes I would find very hard to resist, especially since their pretend marriage puts them in very close quarters. I felt the need to fan myself as I read the book. Lovely in a word. The secondary characters were also quite interesting and well-drawn. Of course there's never enough time to delve too deeply but JL tantalized the reader enough to wish that the book was 300 pages longer. As I finished this book I knew that my Johanna Lindsey slump was broken”
“Johanna Lindsey does a wonderful job of sendding you back into time to figure out this mystery. She does a great job of keeping you guessing until the very end. She also weaves a love story into all of this as well. Its a great 'beach-read'.”

Sebastian Townshend is cast away from his home and family after having a duel that would change his life forever. He vowed to never return home again and he became the Raven, a mercenary with a deadly reputation. He is soon contacted by Lady Margararet Landor to investigate the numerous accidents that Sebastian's father has been having of late. Sebastian agrees to return but only if Maggie tells everyone that they are newlyweds. To both Sebastian and Maggie's surprise they fall in love with each other and the past comes back to haunt Sebastian. This was my first Johanna Lindsey novel, but it won't be my last.
