I don't usually read regency romance so I tried to get myself into a head space of the position women were put into in that time.With estates entailed away they were often left with nothing.Right from the word go you are pulled into the story when Laurel's son Jamie is taken by his uncle Adron. The boy is his ward and he intends to bring him up away from the mother who he has been informed is a floozy. Laurel fights for her right to be with her son. She takes on everything that Adron throws at her in his attempt to prove to himself that all women are worthless. To be by her son's side is the only thing that matters to Laurel. Then she sees a softer side to Adron when he is with Jamie. Against her own best judgement she finds herself falling for him. Add to the plot a sister in law bent on revenge and a thief after the family jewels  and there is plenty to keep you turning the pages.
