Reviews:

"Through vivid detail the author firmly establishes time and place for her rollicking tug-of-war between the arrogant Marquis of Merlin and Theodosia Shaw, the woman who left his cousin at the altar... Nicola Cornick is a rising star of the Regency arena!" Publishers Weekly February 2002.

"This was the first time I've read Nicola Cornick, but I was immediately drawn into her story, and will be looking for more by this compelling author." Romance Review Today.

"An outstanding anthology of regency novellas." Romance Reader Delux
