5* Great Read! *** Contains spoilers ***
A little slow starting out but stick with it. I laughed so hard at what I call the "yo-yo" scene where Cynthia is in the hallway late one night because she has overheard an asignation set up between Miles and another lady. So Miles opens his door expecting his late night date, but there stands Cynthia. Miles is so shocked he grabs her wrist, pulls her in his room, and just as quickly says "Oh my God! you can't be here!" And pushes her right back out in the hall!! This goes on a bit more with Miles thinking, saying one thing, pulling her in his room, and then just as quickly reverses it and pushes her out. What a hoot!!
I hope Ms. Long will pick up stories with not only the other 2 Redmonds but several other characters as well.
The only disappointment: "Lavay." The one word told to Violet (Miles sister) when they go to the gypsies to have their fortunes told. That would have made for an awesome ending for Violet to see that word written on something, a reference to it somewhere, or someone introduced with that name. Talk about major "$@!!! When's the next book?" =)
Cheers! Enjoy!

Not as dragged out as -The Perils of Pleasure- but almost as slow taking place almost entirely over a fortnight at a country estate party. This book, however, had many delightful laugh-out-loud moments which I LOVE. For that alone, I will definitely read the next book in the series.

This has been a great series by Julie Anne Long. Smartly written, with wit and style.
