This series of books is just fantastic.
They get better as the series goes on. This book was just WOW.
Again like Hazard it wasn't your usual "Rogue" book and it actually didn't feature any rogues.
This book is about Tris Tregallows the Duke of St Raven, one night (if u read Hazard u will remember) he dresses up and acts the job of "The Crow" and holds up a carriage, however 1 of the people in the carriage is Cressida Mandville, he sees who she is with and decides to "rescue" her. ...

Jo Beverley's Historical Romances are definitely a cut above most of the rest with interesting locations, better historical accuracy than the norm and a variety of plots and characters.

He holds up the carriage in which Cressida Mandeville is travelling and is immediately intrigued by what is obviously a lady in distress, travelling under duress with her escort. And ...

If this is your first book writing by Ms Beverley, you may enjoy the story, but if you have read some of her books recently, try avoiding this one for a while because scenes in previous books are repeated again here: orgies, marks, disguise... which makes the story a bit monotonous and uninteresting. Another disappointment is that the cool, mysterious duke described in Hazard is not more, there is a try to make St Raven vulnerable and profound, but fails. Tris kidnaps Cressida while playing the highwayman ...
