ANNE WOODLEY, Amazon.com Top 500 Reviewer, Patroness of the Almack's List, Byron List, Janeites, and the Austen List

“The author's command of period detail is impressive, evident in material details but also in dialogue. The theology is also period authentic. The novel even contains a glossary to help non-Regencyphiles get up to speed about the difference between ladies pelisses and spencers... on the whole it's a tasty confection.”

“Usually, when I read ‛Christianʼ stories the author puts up my hackles by preaching at me. Ms. Burkard manages to make Christianity so much a part of Ariana's character that I barely notice it. In fact, when I finished reading the story I felt extremely good and in tune with the universe.”
