"I am smitten by Madeline Hunter's Rothwell series. Each book is better than the last, and this is no exception. Haydn Rothwell's wife Alexia is distressed that her dear cousin Roselyn, has been left nearly destitute by her brothers' perfidy. The Rothwell brothers do not want to see her so unhappy as she awaits the birth of her first child. Steps are taken to resolve the issue, by inducing a commoner to offer her marriage. He is what we call a land developer, and marriage to Rose opens doors for him. The fact that he is entranced by her beauty is helpful. Another satisfying episode and I look forward to the final book."

" for some reason i didn't like it... i love Madeline Hunter's books...but this one i just could not get into.... I did not like the leads...she was not a likeable h, and although he was a much better H...but in the end it was not one of my favorites or even my least favorite. Other reviewers really liked it....so do not let one opinion sway you...i never do...lol. "
— Lynn, 1/30/2014" Fairly typical Madeline Hunter stuff going on (quixotically generous/honourable hero, oblivious heroine), but not so repetitive as to make the characters or plot seem like total retreads of other books. I find Hunter's stories satisfyingly emotional and intelligent (even if the characters can sometimes be stubbornly blind), and this was no exception. "
— Cecilia, 1/18/2014" I just re-read this book. I changed my rating from 4 to 5. I don't know why I rated it a 4 but it is a keeper for me. I just loved Kyle. "
— Annie, 1/4/2014" Got about half way through and couldn't finish it. "
— Colette, 12/19/2013" Another awesome book from Madeline Hunter. Want to know more about my opinion? "
— Heloise, 12/13/2013" I can't decide if I liked this book or not. I didn't get into it like I usually do but the story itself was pretty good. I liked the main characters but did not read book 1 or 2 as I didn't realize this was part of a series. "
— Maggie, 12/12/2013" Kyle and Roselyn's story. Such a great couple! "
— Nicpref, 12/9/2013" This one is from my library and I had to read it and couldn't put it down. Fabulous. "
— Patricia, 9/27/2013" I was having a hard time feeling the connection between them. Fell flat for me, emotions vise "
— Daidase, 4/7/2013" Not enamored with the set-up of this book. He's an architect in Regency England. She's a nobleman's daughter. The class difference wasn't believable for me. Didn't love this one by Madeline Hunter. "
— Candy, 9/24/2012" The Rothwell brothers and their extended family and liaisons are remarkable characters. Hunter has fully envisioned the era. "
— Rebecca, 4/30/2012" was ok, the end got slow though. "
— Flitterkit, 2/17/2012" Wow, I really enjoyed the other Madeline Hunter book I read; however, the plot in this one just stalled. I abandoned it almost half-way through...just couldn't bring myself to waste any more time. =-( "

— Babete, 2/8/2011" I can't decide if I liked this book or not. I didn't get into it like I usually do but the story itself was pretty good. I liked the main characters but did not read book 1 or 2 as I didn't realize this was part of a series. "
