Ms. Campbell outdid herself on this one!! Great read full of mystery, drama, fast-paced action and steamy passion!! Well done!!!
Like most of “the rockstars wife’s” books I’ve read they are definitely page turners!!
I loved the book. Wish I could read more like it. I still get a good laugh from parts of it when I think of it. Keep up the great work.
Great writing. Love this author, can’t wait to read more.
Enjoyable
A fun, original story with a strong Hero & Heroine. Twists and turns along the way make the story more engrossing and entertaining. Our heroine, Desiree, is a thief with great sleight of hand and looks to enrapture her targets along the way. Our hero is the local, much-feared lawman, Nicholas Grimshaw. It’s his job to uphold the law as well as collect taxes. How they come together and find their happily-ever-after is a cleverly written story with well-thought-out details. Enough details to really build the world as well as pull the reader in without slowing the pace of the book. No grammar errors or typos. A real treat of a well-written story.
I won this book from the author. I was required to give a favorable review. This was a great story about a lawman and his honor to keep a promise to man he had to put to the gallows and a young woman who was being taken care of by the old man. He had a key that he didn’t know was very import to very rich woman. This was a great story about how you can be doing wrong and turn around and do right. I enjoyed every word.
Good book. Slow beginning but keep with it. Would definitely recommend.
Glynnis never fails to entertain!
It moves along pretty good. Funny in spots, but both characters keep your interest.
Nickolas is a lawman that carrys out hangings, punishments for other crimes. It is a battle of the wills between Desiree and Nickolas when he brings her home to live with him after her partner in crime is hung. There is mystery with the story also.
loved the dialogue and clever characters
A good man of honor, bad women and a worst woman who is powerful. Can anything good come out of this? read it and you will weep for…?
Well written story. Great characters. A good happily ever story.
A Wonderful & Adventurous Story by Glynnis Campbell.
Desirée Kabayn & Nicholas Grimshaw’s Adventures Journey to HEA was Absolutely Wonderful, Amazing & Romantic.
Desirée was a thief who learned by her mentor Hubert who bought her from her parents. He ensured she was taken care of.
Nicholas was The Shire-reeve of Kent & everyone feared him. Until he meets Desirée. She does everything she can to get under his skin including putting Ribbons in his Cat Azrael.
Azrael was a hoot in this Story.
There is one discrepancy I found in the Story I am trying to figure out. In the Story Desirée is said Hubert bought her six years ago yet in the Story she says:
“She hadn’t gotten this far in her ambitious twenty-four years by letting her nerves get the best of her.”
So this would make her 18 when he bought her. It sounded like she was Younger when he taught her how to be a thief.
Predictable story line and slow to start but overall it was a quick easy read. I like the author but she has written better stories.
Easy reading….not the greatest for plot but the characters were well developed. There is a natural ending that makes sense & isn’t hurried. No cliffhanger!
Not one of the best historical romances I have read. The story seemed to lag halfway through. The ending was a little surprising.
