"Meggs was a lovely character, outwardly hardened by her years on the street, but with a core of softness inside. She began the book almost feral in her reluctance to trust most people and her transformation felt believable to me. Her protective relationship with Timmy, her twelve year old brother, and her feelings for Hugh touched me and evoked my sympathies. [Essex has] a gift for writing endearing heroines and hot love scenes." -Dear Author


"Strongly developed characters, vivid writing, and an abundance of steamy sensuality all add up to another winner for literary newcomer Essex, who is quickly perfecting her ability to deliver well-crafted historical romances fueled by equal measures of sizzling passion and dangerous intrigue." -Booklist
"The Danger of Desire is an intriguing and glorious novel with dazzling characters that solidifies Elizabeth Essex as a great talent." -The Romance Reviews
"There is something distinctive and gorgeous about Ms. Essex's writing--I can't think of any other writer whose prose is as languorously specific as hers. The Danger of Desire ... is a transcendentally pleasurable book to read." -All About Romance
