نقد و بررسی
Concerned about her missing twin brother, Russell, and his possible involvement in a racing scandal, Lady Priscilla Dalloway will do anything to find him--including seducing Dillon Caxton, keeper of the breeding register and the man most likely to have information crucial to her search. A spin-off from the author's popular Cynster series, this story comes to life in Elizabeth Sastre's capable hands. Not only are her Irish and English accents impeccable, she manages to convey the subtle, and occasionally not so subtle, shadings of every character, however briefly they appear--most notably Dillon's bumbling sidekick, Barnaby; a couple of Cockney cabbies; and the villain, Mr. X.

Set in 1831, bestseller Laurens's crowd-pleasing hot-blooded romance reintroduces Dillon Caxton, a young rake now reformed, who first appeared in A Rogue's Proposal
. Recruited by the Jockey Club to investigate rumors of race fixing in Newmarket, Suffolk, Dillon is startled to discover that a gorgeous young Irishwoman calling herself Priscilla "Pris" Dalling (in reality an earl's daughter) is trying to get a look at the two official tomes on breeding and racing in England, the Breeding Register
and the Stud Book
. The green-eyed femme fatale is determined to help her twin brother, Lord Russell Dalling, whose dream to train an Irish Derby winner for Lord Cromarty's stables has landed them both in heart-stopping danger. Wanton sparks fly, bodices rip and trousers drop, though the novel's main juice comes from the well-researched horse-racing backdrop, not from the sometimes accidentally funny lust scenes ("Far beyond sanity, her world shook; reality tilted and quaked").
