I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Allyn's historical novel. Her research about nineteenth century San Francisco was impeccable, her plotting strong, her pacing excellent, and her cast of characters vibrant. Dutch was an intriguing man, a beta hero with a tortured past, but with a fine spirit and good heart - and his penchant for chocolate was such a nice touch! Edith was a beautifully wrought heroine, strong-willed and brave, with an indomitable spirit. Ms. Allyn also has a gift for bringing her secondary characters to full flower; every one of them rang true, from the ever loyal servants, to the villainous madam.If you love a great adventure, you will love ONE MOMENT'S PLEASURE. I can't wait to read the sequel!
