"Well I fell in love with Emma and Colin in Saint's Gate. I love the dynamics of there working relationship and there budding romance. I give this a 4.5 stars, I was immediatly drawn to the characters and their storyline from the beginning. Russian Art Noveau wow what a romantic forbidden concept. I wish I knew more about were the Rusakov's jewels were from originaly. But either way it was a captivating story and I cannot wait for book three."
— Kimberlee (4 out of 5 stars)
“A writer at the absolute top of her craft.”
— Providence Journal“Neggers does a first-rate job of creating scenes with images that are so vivid, one can almost breathe in the briny salt air along Maine’s craggy coast.”
— Sunday Telegraph (Nashua)“Neggers gives romantic suspense fans what they want in this complex mystery with a bit of romance. Maine’s scenic vistas come alive, and the characters aren’t soon forgotten—especially a villain who’s impossible to spot. She skillfully combines it all to create a compelling puzzle, refusing to reveal all the pieces until the very end.”

— Wendy, 10/24/2012" So definitely a book that makes more sense if you have read the 1st one--which I did not. There were obviously things that were explained in the first one that would have helped make this easier for me to follow. Overall the story is good. "
