Amaayyyzing!!!  This book hits all my button!!  Great MCs - DaSilva and Curtis tight, fabulous dialogue, smart, clever humorous and smoking sexy times and utterly witty.  And jut to top it all - it's a historical - takes place in 1904 England.  The writer captures the phrasing of the time perfectly.  Loved it -"you utter sod" and "not that sort of chap."  Wonderful.  Character driven romance with good capture of the ambiance and setting.  Most of the action takes place in one of those country homes with the obligatory friends who stay at the house for a while hunting and traipsing about the grounds - can we say Downton Abbey, anyone?  Like a cross between Downton Abby and Hustler - not at all gauche but with the country house thing as a backdrop, the juxtaposition of the illicit with the innocence of country-living - masterful  The sexual tension between Daniel and Curtis is over the top good!  The sexy times were great but there is just one scene with daSilva and Curtis and collar studs that just made me squirm - but the best thing about this scene is that both are clothed - but the way the author describes the scene, the way she captured the longing between the two, the whispered dialogue - OMG just freaking awesome.  I suppose this might be a romantic suspense.  You know how some books don't do the balance between romance and suspense well - too much romance and the suspense winds up an afterthought or not enough romance and the blood and guts takes over the stage.  But this was just right.  So good that when I was at 38% I stopped to buy the authors other books!  This was a 5 star for me and now I am off to stalk the author on Facebook...  Gotta read this one..
