Kristabel Reed lives on the East Coast and loves to explore the steamier side of historical romance. "There are so many sexy situations that didn't just pop up in the 21st century and my goal is to burst the myth of the prim and proper debutante."
She loves romances but historical ménages particularly which add an element of danger and discovery not seen in contemporaries. Historically speaking, unusual romantic connections put lives on the line-people were ostracized and some even put to the death.
She loves reading, watching old movies, and anything Cary Grant. And is always interested in talking about erotic romance, so drop her a line: kristabelreed@yahoo.com; or Tweet her @kristabelreed; find her blog: kristabelreed.blogspot.com
3.5 stars This is an entertaining, fun, quick read. Camilla and Gareth are interesting, intriguing, entertaining, fun, complex characters. Their romance is full of twists and turns which is entertaining to read. Camilla is an interesting character, whom I wish we had a better understand of. The secondary characters added to the fabric of the story. The story is easy to read and get into.
