Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-26 00:00:00 Peter Jones I really enjoyed this Regency. It is very refreshing from many other Regencies in that the characters have a lot of depth. The two main characters start out as non-Christians, who agree to a marriage of convenience, each for their own selfish reasons. The author portrays how each character lives according to their sinful desires. I felt that the whole book is very clean and nothing is done without taste. Some things are alluded to, such as �producing an heir�, but very tastefully. The hero and heroine start to have a thread of attraction for the other, but it easily falls apart when tested. It is a good picture of how without a foundation in Christ, human love is often selfish and needy and easily falls apart with testing. The hero, Tertius, has previously spent time in the Indies. A lover who he has spurned has put a curse on him. I especially liked the portrayal of the grip the curse has on him, showing how real spiritual warfare is. God is the only power stronger than the curse that grips Tertius. Then Tertius has a great test where he has to be patient and loving with his wife while she continually treats him rudely. This is the same way he used to treat others. Finally, in God�s time, our heroine is brought to the Lord as well, and she and Tertius become the man and woman God intended them to be.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-11-08 00:00:00 George Albright I love that Ruth Morren writes stories about messed up characters who find faith and peace in Jesus. Many Christian authors avoid sullying their characters for fear of upsetting their audience. But Morren�s books are very satisfying to us who understand Jesus came for the lost. Negative reviews labeling the main male character as horribly bad had me concerned about this selection. But the feelings were unfounded because Tertius was relatable in the first part of the story and endearing in the second. This story was well written, included intriguing characters, and built nicely too a great happy conclusion.
