Not bad. I was surprised how the book started off. It was pretty fast pace and interesting, then got bogged down with rehashing of feelings in the middle, and then picked up pace again towards the end. Her family was so HORRID in this book that you just want to scream at them. The back cover doesn't really tell you anything about the book and is a little wrong.Her dress on the cover reminds me of billowing pink bubble gum. That and old fashioned men's arm bands tied around her sleeves and waist. But maybe she didn't care after being almost drowned, shoved off a cliff, and taken prisoner. She probably had more pressing concerns....like trying not to fall in love.
Julia Carleton's relatives agreed on one thing: a mere female was not fit to manage the vast fortune that her father had left her. They would take control of it-and take control of Julia as well.
Julia, however, had her own ideas. With her new wealth, she could afford to lead a new life, be free to do what she wanted and love whom she chose.
But her flight to freedom threw her into the arms of the notorious Lord Alysford, whose reputation as a rake and gambler made him the last man in the world she should trust. And Julia had to risk more than money to find out if the irresistible Alysford was out to steal her fortune or her heart.
