4.0 out of 5 stars Suspenseful, cleverly wrought tale, Aug 23 2000
On their way through Virginia, Fancy and her sister are captured by ruffians and saved by Chance and his friend. When they reach their destination, a tangled web of who is planning to marry whom, partly solved by Chance's forcing Fancy to marry him by sneaking into her bed one night, brings on a tale of jilted loves, revenge, and learning who truly stands to inherit a huge estate.

This is really a tale of several twisted romances between three men and the two sisters. It is upbeat, funny, and overall well done. I read the book quickly and was held in terrible suspense several times. The subplot of Chance's possibly being the original beau's brother was a great turn of events and really kept me going. This was a not-to-be-put-down book in many ways, so I do recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!!!, Jun 23 1998
By A Customer
I just love this story. I have read it a couple of times and I think you should too. There is nothing like a good romance. Ms. Busbee is one of the better storytellers.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is classic Shirlee Busbee..., Feb 17 1998
By A Customer
Although this book was not as exciting as her earlier works, I still enjoyed it because of the historical detail that is synonimous with Ms. Busbee's work. The caracters are fun but I thought that she could have gotten a little deeper into Chance's earlier years so we could get a better handle on the man he was in the story. Fancy was a fine lady but I expected a little more fire from her especially with Change and most definitly when she butted heads with Jonathan. I hope we don't have to wait too long for the next episode from Ms. Busbee's imagination. Thanks, Rita Hidi
