Definitely one of my favorite historical novels so far. Maybe it was because of how long it took to get hot and steamy and when it finally happened, the scenes were well written, believable and incredibly hot ;) Lucy's total innocence was believable, right up to believing that lying next to a man gave her a chance of having his child. The danger seemed real too, and I wondered when they would get their happy ending. I hope to read more of this genre in the future, but I wonder if any Harlequin novel could be as good as this one!
