"I've read - and thoroughly enjoyed - Stephanie Laurens' Cynster, Bastion Club and Black Cobra series, but somehow I missed this one - the story of Gyles Rawlins, Earl of Chillingworth, an honory Cynster who made an appearance in most of the earlier Cynster novels. So, I was thrilled to find it at the library's used book sale, and read it in a day. Chillingworth decides he wants a marriage of convenience, but the reader knows from the beginning that it's never going to happen, especially after we meet the heroine shortly after he makes this proclamation. A variation is that we see much of the story from the hero's point of view, rather than predominantly from the heroine's point of view, which is more typical."

" Trying to protect your heart from being hurt due to past experiences can often lead to a greater hurt, for your self and others, as the Earl of Chillingworth finds out. Only when he nearly loses what he fought hard against feeling and wanting does he admit to himself and others that he does indeed feel love for the woman he so desires "

" I liked it but not nearly as much as the first six books which were absolutely amazing. At this point, the series just seems a bit forced and didn't have the same appeal to it. "
— Billie, 1/31/2014 -
" This one was sufficiently different from the preceding to be almost as enjoyable as the first. "
— Mary, 1/27/2014 -
" I think this is the best Cynster novel since Devil's Bride as Chillingham has been an intriguing character from the beginning and the arranged marriage story is one I've been hoping to read in Stephanie Laurens's unique vein. It doesn't disappoint as Francesca is an incredibly strong woman who knows precisely what she wants from marriage. It's a strange union, but it is said that opposites attract, as played out in this story. I loved it because it includes the Cynster clan and the wider ton society, which few of the Cynster novels have done. Thoroughly recommended. "

" Got a few laughs out of this one. "
— Liz, 1/19/2014 -

" This was a good book. I thought Chillingworth was stubborn and I never understood why he was so against a love match for marriage. I liked the heroine. "
