Summary courtesy of Goodreads:
1830 London and New York City
Roderick Gideon Tremayne, the recently appointed Duke of Wentworth, never expected to find himself in New York City, tracking down a mysterious map important to his late mother. And he certainly never expected to be injured, only to wake up with no memory of who he is. But when he sees the fiery-haired beauty who's taken it upon herself to rescue him, suddenly his memory is the last thing on his mind.
Georgia Milton, the young head of New York's notorious Forty Thieves, feels responsible for the man who was trying to save her reticule from a thief. But she's not prepared for the fierce passion he ignites within her. When his memory begins to return, her whole world is threatened, and Roderick must choose between the life he forgot and the life he never knew existed....
This regency romance by Delilah Marvelle begins a new series of "crossing class" barriers type of romances. This is a solid entry into the series. The world is clearly regency London and New York. The main characters are exactly what you expect. It is easy to identify with their thoughts and feelings. The author did a good job of "showing" not just telling. Smexy scenes were nice and steamy but not plentiful. Good buildup of sensual tension before the commencement of the physical relationship.
Altogether a solidly good romance with likeable characters who have clear reasons for the way they are. I will be looking for the follow up to this book in August 2012, called "Forever Lady."
