I believe this is author S.G. Rogers' best book so far. Her deft handling of the Victorian era details shines in every scene. The characters - poor boy Wesley who inherits a fortune, lawyer's daughter Belle who helps polish the diamond in the rough - are well-matched and Belle's status as affianced to another lends the right touch of conflict to their growing romance, especially in the tense midpoint scene of a boat rescue, which was incredible. I couldn't put the book down! Minor characters also shine, from the roguish Stephen to the valet Cavendish, whose secret past kept me intrigued till the end. Definitely recommend for historical romance lovers who prefer a clean, fun and suspenseful read.
