PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Burrowes debuts with a luminous and graceful erotic Regency. The earl of Westhaven is determined to avoid his father's marital machinations by remaining in sweltering London while Society departs for the country. Westhaven takes great pleasure in his well-run household until his new housekeeper, Anna Seaton, mistakes his intentions toward a chambermaid and knocks him flat with a fireplace poker. Anna is too educated and polished to have been born to service, but she makes a tender nurse. As their affections grow, Westhaven believes he's found a candidate for marriage who would please him and satisfy his father, but Anna refuses Westhaven's proposal. Her hidden background contains ugly obligations, and she's determined to keep outrunning them even as he tries to change her mind. Burrowes turns familiar tropes into a refreshing and captivating love story that will have readers eagerly awaiting the planned sequels.

Heir
Sensational-Romance,mystery and suspense all roll into one. Westhaven and Anna are so suited that I could not put the book down. Who says that opposite does not attract. Please write Morgan and Val story too. Anna’s grandmother needs a happy ending as well. Secret Yearner
Great read!
Romantic, witty and sexy. Loved this book!
Good read
It was a bit drawn out at certain times, I found the female lead to be annoying and not very likable, the love affair is hard to follow and the end is unbearably boring and drawn out for the length of 3 chapters...the supporting characters were more fascinating and interesting than Anna Seaton.
Other than that it was a good read.
