So yeah, I saw the early reviews, and yes, I'm a big fan of Tessa Dare, so I HAD to read this one. And I absolutely loved it. Loved the Batman comments in the reviews, loved the "she doesn't need anyone" remark the able butler tells the hero toward the end. The only open ended thread for me was the dad - would have liked some resolution to that piece, although I'm not sure how she could have done that. And Robert kind of came out of nowhere, but I'll forgive those oversights for the rest of this brilliantly written book. Tessa Dare is an auto-buy for me. Loved it. Although I bought the ebook, I'll buy this hard copy as well. This is one of those books I'd read again and again.
