The Barnes & Noble Review
Bestselling author Virginia Henley pits steel against velvet in this passionate historical set in the tumultuous years of Cromwell's Protectorate and the eventual return of Charles Stuart. In this case, steel is Robert Greysteel Montgomery, and velvet is Elizabeth Cavendish, a spirited redhead who named herself Velvet at a young age. Though the two were engaged when Velvet was seven, history pulled them in different directions. Greysteel joined the army, was imprisoned, and turned double agent to restore Charles II to the throne, while Velvet's family lost its fortune. Though attracted to Greysteel when they meet years later, Velvet is not convinced he is willing to wed without a dowry. The determined Greysteel masters the art of seduction as he entices her into a courtship, then a promising marriage quickly disrupted by court intrigues and mutual misunderstandings. Henley readers will delight in this tale of passionate antagonists and appreciate its rich historical detail, as they have her bestselling Insatiable and other novels. Ginger Curwen
