From Publishers Weekly
Quick's ( Seduction ) light, amusing touch animates a pair of stock Regency romance characters: the experienced fortune-hunter and the naive but spirited maiden. Victoria Huntington is an heiress with a taste for any adventure but marriage. Her late mother's second marriage was unhappy, and she herself is weary of men who want to espouse her money. Enter Lucas Colebrook, Earl of Stonevale, claiming strictly honorable intentions. He'll court her, he promises, by satisfying her yen for risky pursuits, escorting her to the London normally off-limits to ladies, such as its gaming "hells" and brothels. When Victoria's boundless curiosity prompts her to suggest an amorous liaison (even as she dismisses Lucas's marriage proposal), they are discovered at an inn, and only a wedding can salvage Victoria's reputation. With charm and humor Quick portrays this irregular courtship and marriage, which is eventually clouded by Victoria's learning that Colebrook had indeed been after her inheritance and by a sinister secret from her past that threatens not only their happiness but their lives.

From the Publisher
From the dazzling ballrooms of glittering London society to magnificent, cursed estate in the distant wilds of Yorkshire, comes the deliciously wicked story of a thoroughly unconventional courtship -- and a thrilling midnight rendezvous that could only lead to love... At four and twenty Victoria Huntington thought herself quite adept at fending off fortune hunters... until she came under siege from Lucas Colebrook, the darkly disturbing new Earl of Stonevale. Amidst the brightly plumed birds of the town, Lucas was a hawk. And when he held out the lure of moonlit rides and wild, reckless midnight escapades, Victoria found herself powerless to resist. But becoming Stonevale's companion in adventure was far more dangerous undertaking than Victoria could ever imagine. For the attractive Earl would use her every weakness to woo her, to win her, and ultimately to wed her. And soon the amber-eyed lady would find herself ensconced in a crumbling mansion deep in the English countryside... where the real reason for her hasty marriage becomes all too apparent...and where the ghosts of her dark-stained past are waiting to rise up in a terrifying plot that will threaten her life, her honor, and the only man she could ever love.

This was assigned reading for a women's club discussion about the Romance genre, or else I never would have chosen to look at it. I much prefer Historical Fiction, and what I appreciate about that is good research. All my notes on this book (and they are legion) are nit-picky complaints about misplaced modern day jargon and attitudes. I guess lovers of this genre don't mind historical inaccuracies because they are in it for the story (to quote another romance novelist, Maya Rodale): "We read for relatable characters. We read for scorching, hot passion (that would never have been spoken of in the polite society we write about, let alone written down). We read for true love blossoming and over coming obstacles. We read for happily-ever-after." Well, none of that fits into my own set of criteria; I feel sorry for giving this book only 1 star, when it's the genre I don't like. Sorry Amanda Quick!Although for the author I do have questions: Why would an ex-fiancee go to such lengths to get Lucas married? Why does Victoria wear the same color every single day? Why give a character one cardinal rule and then have him break it? Why would Victoria be attracted to a man with a temper who drinks port by the bottle considering how traumatized she was by her alcoholic, raging step-father? How contrived is it that both main characters happen to suffer from very specific nightly recurring dreams? Must the bad guys be so two-dimensional and cartoonish as they expound upon the details of their evil plan?
Read this many many years ago and it's just as good as the first time as are all Amanda Quick stories... Romances with a little something extra -- a villain, a mystery and some danger. Her heroines are always smart, sassy, independent, stubborn which makes for great play between the h and H. And she has a way of making her heroes strong, demanding and yet indulgent with the h. The perfect hero! Whenever I'm in the mood for a good Regency romance with an intelligent, strong, commanding hero who's confident enough to indulge his h, I know I can turn to one of Amanda Quick's stories and get just what I'm looking for plus more than just a romance. Her stories never disappoint!
I purchased this book because I needed a romance novel "fix" while awaiting Lisa Kleypas' next book. I'd never read any of the author's previous books, and was pleasantly surprised with this one.Victoria Huntington is an admirable character, who unlike her other well-bred contemporaries, wants to experience those aspects of life which are denied to her by society's rules ... and avoid all those fortune hunters constantly on her heels. Lucas Colebrook, the new Earl of Stonevale, needs to marry an heiress, and with the assistance of a former love, decides that Victoria is the woman for him. He soon discovers that she is not your "typical" heiress and that wooing and winning her is going to require his mounting a necessary, and hopefully victorious (pardon the pun) strategy/campaign. Being a former military man, he does just that. There is danger and humor throughout the book which made it that much more enjoyable for this reader. I recommend it, and may now have to check out other Amanda Quick novels.
I am a great fan of Jayne Ann Krentz books and enjoyed this one immensely and would recommend it for anyone as a wondeful read - she never disappoints.
Of all Amanda Quick's books, this one is one of her best and has found it's way to my reread list several times. The plot is simple: poor earl seeks heiress bride vs. adventurous spinster seeks dangerous escapades as a diversion from deep dark secret.But where other historical romances would play up Lucas' fortune hunting as an avenue to Alpha maledom, Lucas never quite gets beyond paternalistic. He chooses the adventurous heiress because she intrigues him (passing up the simpleminded heiress who'd easily give him money for title). He courts the adventurous heiress by taking her out on one scandalous and dangerous midnight escapade after another because that's the only way she'd let him near her. (And surprisingly for Quick) he's even a tender and solicitous lover to her when she decrees they have an affair rather than accept his marriage offer. (Explcit meaning of that is that the consummation scene is mutually satisfying for hero & heroine. Amanda Quick tends to write her love scene sequences in the same pattern of first encounter promising foreplay, unsatisfying consummation, third encounter the hero finally gets it right. "Surrender" and "Dangerous" are the two novels that don't use that cliche sequence.)Some reviewers have called Lucas a tyrant for later refusing Vicky's one-off reckless business investment, but he merely points out the foolishness of her plan. It makes more sense for her to invest her money in his land, helping rebuild the town for all the people she can truly help rather than blow it on some frivolous thing. (Something she herself notes a few chapters earlier when she intentionally shops in the town and plans rebuilding the roads simply because the people need that monetary help.) Indeed this whole segment seems shoehorned into the story solely to create a conflict of misunderstanding when one does not really exist.And as for his supposedly opposing her midnight jaunts once they're married, HE'S the one who invites her on those midnight rides in the country. Getting upset because she may be in danger at points is precisely what he did in their courtship... because he feels protective of her.If I fault this book for anything it is the consistent idiocy of the heroine. She's so determined to see fault in the hero, she makes up things he's done wrong. In the end, the reader is left feeling she was damn lucky he didn't give up on her.
An enjoyable and thoughtfully plotted story that moves along at a good pace. One of Amanda's more engaging efforts and we'll worth reading.
