LaceandLavender said Best Historical Romance I've Read in Ages. Its been a while since I've settled into a historical romance this good. Between the gripping mystery surrounding the scandal of Alyce Hythe's name and her passionate romance with Julian Casvelyn, Seductive Secrets had me hooked. Unpredictable catastrophe and suspicion followed Alyce throughout the novel, at every new page there seemed to be a new development to the scandal surrounding her and I absolutely loved it!

I have read the entire book, and the reviewers who complained about poor grammar and word choice were correct ("he relieved that moment in his mind"). It's almost as if the book were written on a smart phone that over-autocorrected! The writing will be smooth and engrossing, then suddenly a hiccup in the writing. The writing style is otherwise pretty good. I wouldn't say the author is as good as Wilkie Collins, but with proper
