I like Historical romances but this one did not promise for me the road tp transport me to the era where it is developing. If it were not for the characters chemistry and pull, I would have rated it lower on my scale. In my opinion the descriptive sexual content overpowered the story line. I would have liked a more in depth description of the characters and background to their developing relationship, but since they were very likable, you tend to override the lack of details.

Overall I would say it is a good read, that has spiked my interest in other books by the author.

Summary: THERE COMES A TIME IN A LADY'S LIFE...


Widowed Anna Wren is having a wretched day. After an arrogant male on horseback nearly squashes her, she arrives home to learn that she is in dire financial straits. What is a gently bred lady to do?
