What Readers Are Saying
“The author has once again presented a life like story in which the characters are real and i couldn’t stop myself from feeling empathy and concern. The Duke is so set on getting revenge But then Life and Love get in the way! Oh so much like real life! The other characters in the story are so well portrayed that i felt concern for them and how things would affect them! All pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that could be damaged or move on into a happy space – directed by one Man’s possibly misguided ideas …the reader simply cannot abandon the book with ease ! The urge to read on and see how things turn out is undeniable !! Brilliant writing & such a good tale !! Plus the added bonus of being different from other Regency Stories & Better !!! Can’t wait for the next one. Thank You!” – Pat, Amazon
