1: Not your average heroine...
I picked up this book several years ago and put it down very quickly since I found the two main characters to be pretty despicable -- ahhh, but in the world of romance things are seldom what they seem! Isabel is a bit more "seasoned" than your usual historical romance heroine, albeit virtuous! And as motives become untangled, Justin turns out to be very loveable. This is the first Barbara D Smith novel for me, so I look forward to reading more...

2: Another of her books I couldn't put it down...
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I really enjoyed this book. I like her style of writing and the characters she creates. This had romance, a spellbinding mystery and a great twist at the end. Again I recommend this good read.

3: Skip this one...
I have read several of Barbara Dawson Smith's books but this is the only one I can't even bring myself to finish. I started it months ago, but I never finished it. I didn't care about either of the characters to wonder how everything ended. I found Justin, the "hero" in this book to be pompous, arrogant, and downright mean to Isabel. Pass on this one...

4: Intriguing and sensual.
Isabel Darling is a courageous woman of her time. She is determined to step into the shark-infested waters of the Ton to discover two things, her mother's murderer and her real father. She's willing to risk scorn and her life. The hero, Justin tries to thwart her because his father was one of Isabel's mother's many lovers. Isabel's mother was writing a book of memoirs and someone wanted her silenced. I didn't like Justin at first. He thought she wasn't his equal just because her blood wasn't blue like his, but once he saw the she was a human being, and started treating her as such, the author endeared him to me and Isabel. The story moves along at a fast pace as Isabel proves she's his match with her seductive plays and clever wit. The mystery of who killed Isabel's mother and who was attacking the other "ladies of the night" kept me glued to my chair. I also liked the way the author revealed Justin's secret and why he disliked Isabel in the beginning. This was the first BDS book I've read, and I'm looking forwarding to read Once Upon a Scandal as soon as I can get my hands on it.

5: Not her best book!
I hated the characters! The only charater that i did like and had intelligence was Helen(sister and fiance). I didn't like the plot at all.
