I really need to re-read this book as the ★★★★★ rating is based on a long-ago read. Alas, I don't know where my copy is. I do remember that the memory of this book kept me buying SB's books for years...even after her publishing lull...hoping to recapture the magic of this one. None ever did. Then, maybe I just like a good swashbuckler.Warning: This book is a bodice-ripper and the hero is definitely a pretty strong bastard alpha male. But back in the day it made my eyebrows rise and my pulse pound.
