A woman on the run. A man on a mission. They need each other to survive the road to an uncertain future.

First off, I loved this book so much I went and bought the first one because I craved more of the series. Lucy endeared herself to me from her first appearance. She was eager to dig in and get her hands dirty, whether caring for a wounded stranger or washing hundreds of dishes. Colin had to work to get into my heart, but he got there when he made me laugh and cry in the same chapter.

I fell in love with Miles’ writing style and her obvious careful study of the period. The journey Lucy and Colin take is as dangerous as they come for the time period and Miles drew me into that world full of fear, passion, and possibility. By the time the last page arrived I was overjoyed to read such a beautiful and adventurous story, yet sad book three wasn’t out yet. So, of course I went and read book one in the series, Jilting the Duke, to get me through. I will be pre-ordering book three, Tempting the Earl, as soon as it becomes available for the release on October 25th, 2016.

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
