This novel was lacking in many departments: the plot seemed to be dished halfway the book, the characters are one dimensional (especially the male character) and the author's chosing of words (one more time delectable and I would toss away the book), writing a narrative are surely lacking here. When reading, I had to restrain myself from whipping out a red pen and start correcting it. This was my introduction to Kat Martin's work and after all the praise she was given, this book was immensely disappointing. Mistrust and misconceptions is a well known tool for writing drama, but you can overdo it and kill otherwise an interesting plot idea.

| Book description |
|
Knowing that she alone can protect her sister from the Baron Harwood, their lecherous stepfather, Victoria Temple Whiting snatches the family's heirloom necklace, believed to hold the power to bring great happiness or terrible tragedy, to pay for their escape to London. Terrified that the baron will find them, Victoria poses as Tory Temple and finds employment as a servant in the household of handsome Cordell Devlin, the scandalous Earl of Brant.
The sisters' arrival couldn't have been more welcome. In need of a new mistress, Cord turns to Tory, whose wit and intellect intrigue him. But when the baron discovers the girls' whereabouts, Cord learns Tory's secret--her noble birth. Furious that he has compromised the daughter of a peer, Cord must decide--marry Tory and keep her safe, or allow his stubborn pride to deny his heart.
