I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Science with a concentration in history. My interest in England began when the United States Air Force stationed me at RAF Woodbridge, near Ipswich in East Anglia. This is also where I met my husband, who flew fighter aircraft for the United States.

My husband's military career moved the family every two to three years and I wanted a career I enjoyed and could take with me anywhere in the world. We meet while in the military. We dated for about a year before I finally said "hey, so when are you going to marry me." The rest is history for us. Our daughter was born about a year and a half after our wedding and she's been our little terror ever since (granted she is all grown up now).

Today, my husband and I live in Tucson, Arizona. We had two dogs, a cat and a cockatiel. Unfortunatly, our dog Wizard just passed away on 5th of September this year. He had cancer and when they went to operate on him they found that the cancer was enormous and had spread everywhere. We lost him on the operating table. We still have our minature pincher Rosebud, our cat Kid and our cockatiel Bubbie.

O livro pega carona em um fato real: o envolvimento de um nobre, participativo mas não propriamente participante da política inglesa, que se apaixona por uma atriz de teatro.

A história de Georgina Devon é devidamente mais light e açucarada que a realidade. Ao invés de uma forte intriga internacional que envolvia nobres e o controle da casa real inglesa, aqui o casal, após uma série de conflitos regados a sexo, vive feliz para sempre... bem diferente da vida real, onde o lorde foi arruinado e a atriz o deixou para desfrutar da fama que conseguiu com sua proteção.

As cenas eróticas descritas são constantes e permeiam toda a relação do casal. O protagonista, Langston, faz as vezes de um homem de razão que perde o controle por causa da paixão desenfreada que sente pela protagonista, Samantha, que apesar de ser descrita como independente, cede rapidamente ao lorde - para felicidade dos leitores e alívio pragmático da escritora.

Se você não curte o conhecimento dos fatos reais, vai se divertir porque o livro consegue cumprir sua função de bodice-ripper, ou seja, é fantasioso e deliciosamente simples. Se gosta de fatos históricos, vai rir as gargalhadas com as ultrajosas mudanças promovidas por Georgina Devon.
