review 1: This one caught my eye because it's unlike any historical romance I've ever heard of. It's about a surgeon's daughter, Abby, who is buying corpses from "resurrectionists" (people who dig up the recently deceased) to use for medical purposes. Her father's medical college is suffering at the shortage of bodies to dissect so she arranges to buy some under the table. Only she gets in trouble with a gang who steals her entire purse and the last gift her mother gives her. And then to add insult to injury, they steal the cadaver back.She decides to follow after them and steal her money back since that purse contained the funds the college needed to keep going for the next few months. And she gets caught by the gang, but not before the handsome and seemingly cultured de facto... more leader decides to put her under his protection. And that's where the story got good. You see, our hero, Max, is really a member of the nobility disguising himself in the resurrectionist gang to find his half-sister Madeline. Of course, Abby presents a big problem to Max if he doesn't want to compromise his cover. There are so many great twists and turns as they try to find out what happened to Madeline and figure out what to do about the growing attraction between them. Again, there are several sex scenes in this one as well, but thankfully they are brief and easy to skip. The best part, of course, was the happy ending (I'm a sucker for those) and while some don't like neat and tidy endings, I do and really enjoyed this one.
review 2: I was given this book for my honest opinion and I have to say that when I first started to read it I was a little taken back . you have a time in history 1800's that takes you back. This book has so much action and mystery that you are caught up in every page. i found that abby was a woman that was not your standard woman in those times. her mother had died young and her father was what we would call a dean of a university. when abby meets max its not a social meeting, she is trying to make a deal on a corpse that they have dug up and are selling to the university. when she is taken advantage of and they gang steals her money and most valuable possession. she takes matter into her own hands to find the gang that robed her and make them pay. This story will have you on an adventure of murder, mystery, lust, lying and stealing less
