Summary: Good, within the serise
Review: I actually liked this book least of all of the ones in this serise. It was still really good it just made the least impression on me. I did like the way Rosamund started out hating Jacobites but it did make her sudden switch a little hard to believe. the ending leaves you hanging for the 6th book a little but it is done well so it didn't bother me that much! This book should be read as an installment in the serise but don't expect "practice to decieve" or "Dedicated Villian" levels of craftmanship.

Summary: Rosamund and Her Doctor Learn to Cherish Each Other!
Review: Rosamund Albritton, a lovely British lady, was normally the most gentle of persons. But after her fiance died in the English Civil War fighting the Jacobites, she found herself hating the rebels with an intensity foreign to her nature.When she met Dr. Robert Victor at a party, she was offended by his angry glances and coarse manners. Her distrust and disdain were fueled by his haughty, unsympathetic demeanor when he was forced to tend her injury during a stormy Channel crossing. And while he claims to be her brother's friend, why did he mistake her next door neighbor for her relative? Patricia Veryan has created captivatingly realistic characters, a world of intrigue and danger, and expertly mixed them to produce an adventure that will have the reader staying up until the wee hours of the morning, breathlessly following Rosamund's escapades. The romance between Rosa and Dr. Victor is wonderfully developed. Veryan's characterization is so perfect that one truly feels that they are real people. I couldn't recommend this book highly enough for those in search of truly great writing that transcends genre.
