The quest to find the elusive French Blue Diamond in Regency England is fraught with danger in the clever second installment of Petersons Hope Diamond TrilogyThe romance is enticing, with a strong mystery propelling the story forward, and the characters are witty and real.Publishers Weekly
The fabled Hope Diamond is the centerpiece of Petersons charming trilogy, where she mixes one very bad-boy gentleman with a headstrong heroine, a stolen gem, a duel, a band of acrobats, and an exiled French king. If that isnt enough, she peppers the Hope Diamond series starter with steamy love scenes, wild escapades, and a laugh or two. Peterson keeps the pace flying and readers hanging on to their utter joy.RT Book Reviews
