This story took a little while for me to really get into. I think it might have something to do with the era. I am not a fan of victorian uppetty-ness (yes I made up that word). The story was an interesting murder mystery/ attempted murder mystery with a romance on the side. The characters, Evangeline and Lucas, were well plotted and had good chemistry as well as some intense sexual chemistry. I just can't put my finger on what it was that kept this story from REALLY sucking me in. It just seemed a bit stiff much like the era in which it takes place. Overall I would say it was a good story though. ~Michelle
