And as she prepares him to take his place in society, Mick prepares Edwina to take her place in his heart . . . and in his bed."Well-done protagonists who become more endearing with each chapter; several memorable secondary characters, including a ferret named Freddie; and shimmering sexual tension and page-singeing love scenes recommend this beautifully written romance, which gently but effectively points out some of the inequities women faced during the late Victorian era." —Library Journal"A textbook example of how to generate sexual tension . . .
