Reviews with the most likes.
Jamie, too poor to afford first-class tickets, is apparently rich enough to ruin a taffeta dress (party quality) by wearing it on a long train ride. Outlaws board the train and pick her as their hostage. She panics...
There is a gorgeous guy though! Kind and thoughtful. She gets flutters! Maybe he isn't with them...maybe he isn't actually treating her with “so much kindness”!
Here's a excerpt for free:
But instead of a gentle touch, he closed his fingers around her wrist. ‘Calm yourself or I'm going to strip you here and slice the ribbons of your corset.'His voice was little more than a thin whisper, but Jamie had no doubt that he meant every single word. Closing her eyes, she concentrated on breathing.When she followed his directives, his lips curved slightly. ‘Good girl,' he whispered.
Because a corset totally is “supposed” to be sliced. If an author is more interested in ripping bodices than in researching historical dress material and what corsets were actually used for, then I don't need to give any more time to this book. Never mind that apparently Jamie has transparent lids and can see what a man's lips do while her eyes are closed...
