Satin Fires
THE FOX
Arabella Winters was breathless with excitement at the thought of her marriage to Phillip Everett. She had harbored a secret love for the dashing rogue since childhood. But her joy-quickly turned to revulsion when she met him again. He was half the man she remembered and the thought of their wedding night repulsed her. So when she was drawn down to the river to contemplate her options, the shadowy figure there took her by surprise. And when the masked bandit drew her into his crushing hold, Arabella felt waves of rapture wash over her body...
THE FLAME
As the leader of a band of rebels, The Fox knew the importance of concealing his true identity from the ravishing beauty on the river bank. But from their first kiss, he was a man possessed. He had never before met a woman with hair the color of flames and a fiery spirit to match. With one embrace he felt the spark of passion begin to burn deeply between them and he knew he must have all of her. He wanted to feel her bare skin next to his own, to hold her.all through the night and fan the embers of their brilliant SATIN FIRES.

Setting: Virginia, 1773
Tropes: Scarlet Pimpernel-ish, Marriage of Convenience
I believe this is the only historical written by Rebecca Flanders. She has had a long career writing for Harlequin as well as a popular werewolf series writing as Donna Boyd.
I was mostly interested in this bk because I just adore Scarlet Pimpernel/Zorro type romances. I ultimately did enjoy this but it took a longgggggggggggggg time before things started cooking. By page 200 of this 491 page novel, I was still wanting to quit because the pace was soooooooooooo slow and plodding. A much slower pacing is typical of a historical romance from 1986 but it's 2010 now and I cant take those as I used to at, it seems.
It also featured one of those bratty, immature heroines that was so prevalent in 80s hystericals. Well, she was bratty, that is, until she got her first Injection of Lurve from the hero. Afterwards, she got all clever, eloquent, and omnipotent. I found the turnaround not very plausible. The hero was led by his Needle of Lurve too much but it didnt bother me because he was blonde and hawt.
If you like a Scarlet Pimpernel story set against Colonial America, I would give this a tepid recommend.
