Summary: Not Very Good
Review: I want to like this book, but there are many problems. The book has beautiful, lyrical writing, but still... Well, the heroine prostitutes herself to the hero on their first meeting. If that doesn't rest easy on you, it gets worse. The heroine has NO backbone whatsoever. Whenever situtation requires her attention, she feels faint. She protests and sputters that she is in control, but the sad thing is that nobody in the novel really cares. I'll reread Wild Irish Skies, which is a keeper to me, and I suggest giving this one a pass.

Summary: Captivatingly enticing... senuous and heart warming.
Review: Not being a fan of romance novels I found this to be refreshingly different. The historical references were interesting and informing. The characters were realistic, often times funny and warm. I found I could not put the book down and I look forward to more works from Ms. Akers. She has won over another fan.
