Pure unadulterated romantic suspense, plus horses and a cat. Not to mention a couple of murders and a whole lot of blackmail.
A slight twist on the usual formula: our heroine meets and marries the hero within the first few chapters, just a couple of days of story time. I suspose that one possibility is that the marriage gave McCaffrey license and excuse for rather more sex than she usually includes. There is a fair level of implausibility all around, but still it is good fun.
The publication date is ten years after Restoree. This one is considerably more consistent than the earlier one. The characters are more realistic and the flow is much more even. I think I may skip ahead and reread one of the very last of her romances. There's one where the main character is a rather more mature (read older) woman than the usual romantic heroine.
