I felt swept away into the regency era. I loved Megan's spunk and alternately cheered for and felt irritated at Nicholas. Ms. Green is an excellent author who knows how to guide the reader's emotions with her words. I look forward to more of her stories. A MUST read!" -- Avid Reader"Tiffany Green is an exceptional writer! I loved the story and I cannot wait for more. Just enough suspense, romance and drama all set in the right time.
