I feel a re-read coming on. LOL. I am surprised that you didn’t like Hoyt’s book as well, but at least this is a new author you can glom onto. Did you read Linden’s comments to Janine’s review of “What a Woman Needs?” I thought those were meaningful.

I just finished this yesterday, and am shocked at how much I enjoyed it, especially after my slight disappointment in Hoyt’s The Raven Prince. Outside of the fact that I never bought that Molly wouldn’t spill the beans about David and Marcus, I found Hannah and Marcus likeable and the setup clever fun. For me this is a B+ read, and I have been waiting on the first one from Amazon for over two months now (they keep rescheduling shipment).

Comparing my experience with Linden to Hoyt, and feeling that on the surface there is not a great disparity in ambition and/or novelty with the books, I realize that an author’s voice is ultimately what makes or breaks a book for me. While I really admired what Hoyt was doing in The Raven Prince, her voice didn’t work for me as well as Linden’s did. I wonder if most readers are story-oriented, character-oriented, or voice-oriented in the way they take to one particular novel over another.

I’ve read both What a Woman Needs and What Gentleman Wants and enjoyed both. Interesting character based stories.

…This did provide a bit of a suspense to the book to move the story along (although I enjoyed the romance more than the suspense part). However, the action sequence toward the end seemed tacked on and not in keeping with the character development.

The story didn’t need any suspense and it probably would have been better without it.

I really enjoyed this book. It was one of the freshest historicals I’ve read in a long time and, Jane, I think your review is spot-on: the only part that didn’t seem to fit quite as well as the rest of the delightful story was the counterfeit part.

I just got the first one and hope to read that soon as well.

I thought you'd read and reviewed this one already.

You might be thinking of Linden's previous book, What a Woman Needs, which I reviewed here recently.

I ordered this one and the first, and got this one first and am still waiting for the first one to arrive (if that makes any sense). I was afraid to read this one first, because I think it got kind of a meh review from AAR, but after your review, I will go ahead and try this one. WHERE the hell the first one is (not till Feburary, Amazon tells me, will it arrive), I don’t know. Hopefully the first one actually sold out.

I thought you’d read and reviewed this one already. I think I have this one, too. I’ll have to find it. Thanks for the reminder. I also bought some new books today – romances! Hope their good and also, Harper Collins ebook store released almost all of Susan Andersen’s books today. Yay. I only ever enjoyed Exsposure and that has been it.
