This one grabs you at the beginning and doesn't let go. But you will have to read the author's note for those details. I loved, also, that Garrett is loosely based on a real person. I think that's the secret, by the way, it's not whether or not it's set in London in the 1800s (although, London is such a wonderful city who can complain about that setting) or New York in 2018, it's the writing, the story, and the connection that draws you in. It draws you in and, until they hail a hansom or travel by train, you forget it's a historical romance and just focus on the romance.

Their connection is obvious and palpable. Showing up when he's needed, the whistle, never leaving her alone (even on that saddest of Tuesdays when she thought he did) and asking for her when he believed his life was ending.

I think because she knows how to set a book in the past without letting it take over the story and feel like a history lesson. But what I can say is that a Lisa Kleypas historical novel always a pleasure.

A stranger emerged from the shadows, cool darkness spun into the form of a man. a transition from the workaholic career woman to one who realizes she doesn't have to sacrifice her professional passion for a personal life. Garret underwent some personal growth in this book. I loved that she bucked the trend and persevered despite the opinions of society. At a time when most people thought too much intelligence and learning would cause females to become enfeebled, Garret went above and beyond to live her life as she wished. Not only is she educated, she also knows how to take care of herself and doesn't hesitate to wield her walking cane against would-be attackers in the seedy streets of lower-class London. Gibson is tempted by this captivating man. His secrets are as mysterious as he is and Dr. But of course she has to fall for Ethan Ransom, a spy who use to work for Scotland Yard. She is such a unique and practical heroine - an educated physician during a time when women in England weren't even allowed to go to medical school.
