Publisher's Weekly

December 14, 2009
Often flat and uninspired in its interactions, this by-the-numbers 1820s romance relies on complicated subplots and the heartstring-tugging tale of reunited childhood sweethearts. Lady Callista Taillefaire has been jilted three times and is resolved to devote herself to raising cattle, particularly her prize-winning bull, Hubert. When her lost love, Trevelyn, returns from nine years away, that resolve is firmly tested, but no sooner is their romance rekindled than he is convicted of forgery and forced into exile. Readers may enjoy the history lessons in several creaky but soundly constructed tales of Trevelyn’s wartime experiences with another of Callie’s former suitors, but Kinsale neglects to fill in the background details for Trevelyn and his unsavory valet, ex-boxer Jock, preferring to follow romance conventions with monotonous regularity.

Starred review from February 15, 2010
After a five-year hiatus, Kinsale is back in stellar form with this delightful tale of an aristocratic, independent, bull-breeding spinster and the beguiling French émigré who once stole her teenaged heart, as they try to overcome the past and begin the difficult, passionate journey back to trust and love. VERDICT Complex, well-depicted characters (including a noisy, most memorable bull), a multilayered plot peppered with secrets and surprises, breathtaking sensuality, and exquisite execution will keep readers enthralled. Funny, clever, and laced with whimsy, this lighthearted charmer is pure magic; a surefire winner for all collections. Kinsale ("Shadowheart") resides in both Santa Fe and Dallas.
