Excellent writing and characterization... with special mention for Hester: a fizzing-with-life, believable and resourceful heroine if ever there was one

Daily Mail

Lush, dark, utterly real and, above all, achingly romantic

Ruth Ware

A wonderfully thrilling, sweeping, romantic historical adventure that keeps you gripped until the last page

Rowan Coleman

A heart-stopping, explosive romp through what might so easily have been, delightfully packed with desperate deeds and derring-do. More, please

Holly Hepburn

Badly behaved aristocrats, gloriously opinionated women and danger at every turn

i newspaper

Thrilling... Rugged scenery combined with even more rugged leading men and feisty leading ladies makes this a book that one can easily compare to Poldark... The intensity of the plot is only amplified by quite how much she makes you care about the characters it revolves around'
