Oh the buildup! The flirtation and don't make me start about the language! 
 And this is all due to a genius lady. So merci beaucoup Mme Kyraryker. 
 There is a certain perfection that you can see in this book. Stephanie Laurens manages to paint a a truly historical landscape with her carefully accurate dialogues. You can see that she's done some research into the lifestyles of the early 19th century England. At the very least, the characters don't appear to talking in modern slang, left and right! 
 Then there's the matter of the lead characters themselves. Such spark, such chemistry. Muy bueno indeed! 
 "You have no right to decree what my life is to be." 
 "I have every right." Devil's expression softened not at all; his gaze was mercilous. "You will be what you were meant to be- mine." 
 I may not be the most loyal soldier of Feminism when I say this, my heart fluttered a little when I read that. 
 So what I am saying is, it's a top notch piece of historical chick-lit.
