This was my first book by this author and there is not a doubt that she is talented.  There was a good story line and some very interesting characters.  “Wiley” a man from “St. Giles” who plays a small role was the most interesting to me.  We also had “Sir Hillary” a quasi “Sherlock Holmes”.Our two main characters “Roger” the hero, and “Harry” our heroine were not quite as interesting.  Roger was lacking motivation and well…..really, character, for over half the book.  Not exactly a hero to sigh over.“Harry” who had survived a horrific marriage, still manages to be nave and a little unbelievable.I was caught up in there story though, and the author does very good dialogue.  I actually think the dialogue between the men may be more realistic than we would like to believe.My biggest complaint is that it seemed not to hold true to the time period.  I like historical novels that reflect the time period.  This one did not.  It all seemed very modern to me.  I felt the author only placed the story in 1800’s England to serve the plot.Three and a half stars from me, perhaps I am too critical but the flavor of the time period was missing.  Also I must say that personally I like strong decisive men in my romances.  So my review may be biased on that point.
