This book is full of action and intrique and I really liked that.  It's not very often that historical romance novels use that as a plot twist and I so love it when they do.  The book centers around Evelyn who seems to be a melancholy sort.  She is well read and craves adventure and is bored with her ho-hum life.  She meets a strange masked woman as a gang robs the carriage she is travelling in.  Evelyn is intriqued by her but doesn't really know why.  Before long Evelyn finds herself in the middle of a plot thick with lies, deception and violence.Although, I liked the book and would read this author again, I had a hard time getting invested in the characters.  Evelyn came off as spoiled and self-centered.  Bess came off as a pawn.  It was really hard to 'root' for these ladies.  I don't know if that's an issue with character development, editing or just me.
