“Delightful. . . . Herendeen’s book brings a breath of fresh air and creativity to the romance genre and with her humor and ability to entertain, she is sure to woo fans.” — Publishers Weekly
Sparkling with Regency wit and panache, Herendeen’s debut novel...is a brilliant exploration of love, sexuality, class, and gender, but above all, it is a wonderful love story. Highly recommended for those readers comfortable with alternative sexual and erotic literature. — Library Journal
"Impeccable research, fantastic characters, and even a bit of mystery made this one of the best novels so far for 2008. Be prepared to be shocked, to learn something about the Regency world, and to laugh out loud. Ms. Herendeen writes a dynamite tale." — Jani Brooks, Romance Reviews Today
If Jane Austin had written gay fiction, this book could have been hers. . . . A very well crafted piece of work by a writer who is thoroughly grounded in the nuances and details of early 19th Century England. . . . Witty and fast paced. . . . Lust, love, secrets, lavish settings and intrigue -- this one has the whole delicious menu.” — Out in Jersey
"With caustic wit, some wildly original characters, and plenty of sex, Herendeen creates her own delightfully imaginative and boldly sensual take on the classic Regency marriage-of-convenience plot." — Booklist
