review 1: I loved this book-and have to admit the previous two did not interest me enough to even purchase them. I think it is the setting-India-and the long-lost loves. Thomas was a spy for the Company, posing as a native horse trader for years. Cat comes to join her aunt after her family dies. Their story, told alternatly between India and present day is wonderful. It is clear from the beginning what they mean to each other but the question remains to the end-will they be able to find a way to stay with each other.
review 2: 3.5 An interesting book, narrative-wise, split between a brief current-day (1830) meeting between former lovers and flashbacks to the lovers' developing relationship years before in India. The twist: the male half of the romantic duo, Tanvir ... moreSingh, a Sikh horse trader, was in fact Thomas Jellicoe, younger son of an earl and spy for the British crown. Thomas never told Catriona Rowan his true identity, and when Cat disappears after being accused of arson and murder, Thomas cannot find her. Only when he returns to England after years of searching does he see her again--hiding under an assumed name, right in the midst of his own family. A few too many contrivances to feel completely compelling, and Cat's last secret seems a bit tacked-on, but still, Essex's strong writing and passionate characters make this well worth the read. less
