The story is good and the historical setting is very intriguing. Though well written, I have enjoyed other Jennifer Blake books more.
Publisher's Rewview:
Amid the color and music of a gypsy camp in the foothills of France, Mara Delacroix of Louisiana and Roderic, Prince of Ruthenia, met for the first time. She was the daughter of Andre Delacroix, who lost his great love, Angeline, to Roderic's father in a daring gamble.
Now Mara was involved in a deception of her own. Visiting France with her grandmother - who had gotten into debt to the ruthless Nicholas de Landes - Mara had to seduce Roderic (for reasons de Landes would not explain) or see her grandmother suffer.
Mara wanted only to use Roderic in a game of intrigue. Roderic was well aware of her beauty and charm but didn't want to be anyone's fool. How could they know that passion would explode between them?
Here is a glittering adventure set against the excitement of 19th-century France that is a total enchantment, sensual delight, and, of course, pure Jennifer Blake.
