"Fortuna's story is told with surprising grace -- her blindness is neither romanticized nor downplayed, and Joanna Waugh does not attempt to save her from herself -- rendering the story both realistic and moving."
Night Owl Romance Reviews
4 rating "a page turner"

"From the first sentence...I was tugged into this dazzlingly real look into the life of Regency folks. I haven't read a book with such in-depth emotional, heart-wrenching and utterly sensual scenes in a long time."

The Romance Readers Connection
4 rating "an excellent read"

"It's obvious from the beginning...that Charles and Fortuna will end up together, but the road to it is masterfully written. The dance around one another...is intricate...their verbal sparring a great amusement...I thoroughly enjoyed this book, its characters and Ms. Waugh's writing."
Simply Romance Reviews

A+ outstanding read

"It was a lovely journey to watch[Charles' and Fortuna's] initial antagonism and sniping slowly turn to...friendship, and then to a surprisingly sensual awareness..."

You NEED to read (4.75 of 5)


"...some of the best dialogue between hero and heroine that I have ever read. Dialogue bursting with intelligence and witticism, with an aim beyond simply being that one last riposte."
