Negative Positive
Title: Superb!
Review: I've read a LOT of historical romances. This is one of the very few that do equal, delightful justice to both the history and the romance, with very real characters that were *not* made for each other, *without* a romance that's telegraphed from the very first page. Nothing about the outcome is certain until the very end. The device of the hero's stroke, which transforms him from careless rake who sneers at another's difficulties with the pronounciation of his own name, to helpless hero unable to remember or pronounce his own, is briliantly executed over a realistic and fascinating narrative.
