What I liked about this book: This was a very good book. Plain and simple, Elizabeth Hoyt has a way with stories. The plot on this story was so deeply woven and had so many details. I really enjoyed how the main lady character was already tied to the male lead character. It set up a really interesting meeting for the first meeting. There were parts that were full of suspense and even very sad parts as the male lead told about his life. The love story was slow, but it blossomed beautifully. All in all, this book was well worth the read.

What I disliked about this book: Nothing really. The only reason why I gave the characters a nine instead of a ten was because I had a hard time keeping track of all of them, because there were so many. Perhaps, if I had read the series from book one to book four, I would know all of the characters easily.

Who I would recommend this book to: Anyone that is a fan of historical romance, and likes to have suspense and a nice deep historical story woven in.

What I felt the book was about: Beatrice Corning is in love with a man in a painting(Reynaud, Lord Hope) in her uncles(Uncle Reggie) home, her uncle is high up in British society, inherited because the young man in the painting died at war in America. One day, during a political tea party, the assumed dead soldier comes back and storms the party angry as can be. From there, she begins to try to get through to the man and see if he is the same man that she fell in love with, meaning if he can have the same look as his painting. She finds it eventually and he gets his title back from her uncle and there are so many twists that made the book exciting. There are murder attempts on the returned soldier and even a kidnapping by a traitor from the time when Reynaud was captured by Indians in America. It held some very interesting, very witty conversations. Some that would make a person go from laughing, to smirking, to crying, to feeling extreme happiness. Beautifully done.

Favorite excerpts or quotes from the book: “”No.” He strolled toward her, implacably confident. “You belong to me, and I intend to demonstrate that fact to you.””

I had many more favorite quotes, but the object is to choose just one. Hopefully, you will read the book so that you can find your favorite!
