I bet once you do read it you'll know why. :D <br /><br />Frankly, I misinterpreted both the cover and the title. I thought this was about some Victorian missy from a group of girls that made up a "The Charm School" who got caught up by an English Lord/pirate on the high seas... or something like that. I NEVER even read the blurb because of that title! But oh well... now I read it. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy it too, Nath! I do... :DHilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-8670099161499524022012-05-19T09:09:12.063-04:002012-05-19T09:09:12.063-04:00Oh then you'll love this one!

I'm guessing not, since I don't have much of a recollection.<br /><br />And you know, the cover you currently have is a new cover. I'm betting Harlequin wanted to attracts more readers, so gave it a pretty cover that might not have much to do with the storyline.<br /><br />ah well, this one is coming with me to QC this week-end :) Thanks for the review and so glad it was a winner!nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-66424465993549122722012-05-18T12:03:46.853-04:002012-05-18T12:03:46.853-04:00SOLD!

The surprising thing about it is that it reads so well now... you know how some of those "old school" romances just don't do it for most readers these days. This one does. As I said to Wendy above, I already have the second book in my TBR, sooo you started me off on this series, and reading Wiggs' historicals. Good thing. :)Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-47691744039416521232012-05-16T22:12:26.768-04:002012-05-16T22:12:26.768-04:00Hilcia, I'm so glad you liked it, and that it ...Hilcia, I'm so glad you liked it, and that it finally made it's way to the top of your TBR pile!

It's a wee bit "darker" and a bit more "angsty" - which I tend to be a sucker for in historicals.<br /><br />And in true Wendy fashion? The rest of the books in this series? Languishing in the TBR.
