I have yet to read a book by Anne Stuart that I have not adored and "The Devil's Waltz" is no exception. I loved the sexual tension between the two main characters - the spinsterish "Honorable Miss Annelise Kempton" and the charming "bad boy" Christian Montcalm! I loved how Annelise (small note: I fell in love with the heroine's name) wasn't your typical heroine in that she was no great beauty and was considered to be "on the shelf" by everyone, including herself. This did not cause her to shy away from society and sit timidly by. Nooo! Annelise simply accepts her lot in life. She isn't easily intimidated by Christian either and the banter between them is another strong point. Christian was simply a hero to die for - a bad boy who made no apologies for who he was.

I teared up towards the end when everything came together and that in itself made this a definite keeper for me. If Anne Stuart can write anything less than satisfying, I have yet to read it.
