There were so many great aspects to this book. Julianna and Alasdair have a very backwards courtship that leads to constant apologies and frequent compromising positions. They are absolutely perfect for each other. They just don't seem to realize it. Alasdair makes a complete ass of himself on several occasions in his attempt to reacquire that which was not exactly stolen from him. Julianna also has some misplaced notions of why she has stolen the pearl. Alasdair and Julianna figuring out what the other is up to, while trying to hide what they are actually doing from the other makes this such an entertaining read.Alasdair incorporates the assistance from his friends and fellow devils, Hil and Roger for locating the missing pearl. I loved his friends, especially Hil. They are witty and they know Alasdair in a manner that allows them to openly challenge some of his convoluted notions as to what is going on with the priceless treasure that he seeks to obtain.I recommend this book anyone who enjoys historical romances and loves a good steamy romance to go along with it. I can promise you that the secondary characters will have you desperately wanting the next book in the series. Sam gives her readers the most interesting little pieces of their personalities.I have a couple of favorite quotes. One is Alasdair's explanation of what became of the pearl to his friends Hil and Roger. "The short version is, I caught a thief in my bedroom, she turned out to be a very intriguing woman, I relieved her of her virginity, and this morning I awoke to discover she had relieved me of the Stewart Pearl."I loved this one too, Alasdair to Julianna. "I was a fool, and now I am double the fool, because I will make any excuse to see you, touch you, hold you."Book provided by the publisher for the purpose of an honest review
