A MAN WITHOUT A PAST
Who was the stranger on her doorstep?
Why was someone trying to kill him?
And what had happened to his memory?
A WOMAN WITH A SECRET
She had always been a model of propriety, the dutiful daughter and loving sister who put her family above all else. No one had guessed at the shocking secret she kept hidden ... or the desire that would burn inside her at this stranger's touch. Chapter 1 opens with Priscilla, a country girl of genteel, but poor family, opening her door and finding an injured, naked man on her doorstep with no memory of who he is. The attraction is immediate and the man ends up staying with Priscilla and her governess and absent-minded father as they strive to unravel who he is and who is out to harm him. The first chapters held steam, witty banter, and intrigue and I really enjoyed it, but sadly, this did not last long.
The mystery was predictable but still would have been enjoyable because of the sexy hero, silly secondary characters, and fun, small town British countryside setting. There are also a few love stories going on, but those never detract from the main romance. All these are fun things that set up the groundwork for a fun story reminiscent of Amanda Quick.
