captivates historical romance readers in this second of the "Some Like
It..." series with the handsome and dangerous Rutherford Hawksley and
the spirited, beautiful, and intelligent Clara Dawson. Clara, left
alone after her father's death finds comfort in a pen pal mathmatical
equation relationship with a certain Mr. Chesterfield, not knowing that
this relationship is to bring her danger and into the arms of the
wickedly handsome Hawksley. She doesn't stand a chance with this tall,
dark, handsome stranger the moment she looks into his dark blue eyes.
But neither does Hawksley, as the beautiful Clara, as beautiful inside
as out, rescues him from a life of loneliness and abuse from his
aristocratic upbringing. They are drawn to each other from the moment
Hawksley saves her from attempted murder and together they work to
solve the murder of his older brother. Biddles and Anna are back from
the first book, and the sexy Santos. As a fan of the sensual historical
romance, this book did not disappoint. It is sinfully delicious, but I
was left wanting more, which is why I give it 4 Stars. It would have
been wonderful to complete the story and the relationship after Clara
and Hawksley's marriage and their acceptance into "The Ton." This story
needs a sequel! Maybe the villians can return from the colonies? I look
forward to the next in the Some Like It series coming in 2007,"Some
Like It Brazen."
