Surprisingly lighthearted Regency era romance. The premise and even cover art seem rather dark but Karen Robards writes interesting, fairly upbeat characters.

A convincing and slow built love story, Robards provides steamy scenes and for once a realistic deflowering. The foundation for the sisters was well set and Robards establishes enough interest in them to compel you to read the next book in the series.

The back cover and title are a bit misleading as the scandal of the "siblings" in love is only addressed in the last part of the book. The wrap up to the story was a little too tidy and convenient but I wasn't reading it for the "mystery". However the ending dialed down a solid four stars to 3.5.
