With a great opening, Wareeze Woodson draws you in immediately to the heroine’s plight and the hero’s goals. The author gives you strong characters with very different agendas, which makes their growing attraction all the more unlikely.Readers will root for Laurel immediately when her son, for no apparent reason, is stolen from her. Her constant struggle to prove herself as a mother reveals her strong nature and, ultimately, the fact that she has been wronged.Adron seems to be a callous male of the regency period. Yet the author creates sympathy for him. The male voice seems very believable with his rational approach to the situation as he understands it. He thinks with his brain not other parts of his anatomy as many romance heroes do. This is not to say that he doesn’t get caught in the end by Laurel.“CONGRATULATIONS” for portraying Adron as a true male with his reasoning well thought out from his viewpoint. Adron says to Laurel “Most men are primitive, savage creatures full of pride. That’s the way we are, simply men.” Other than “savage” you have nailed what most women romance authors don’t understand.This well written regency romance is an exciting mix of a mother’s love, intrigue, mystery, the problems of family expectations, and a search for true love. Strong competing characters keep the story moving as each tries to get what they expect as their due. An artfully designed twist at the end will keep you guessing. This would be a book that even your male significant other might enjoy.
