Adam: You are my miracle.

Desirée: You are my everything.

With lines like that to savor, what's not to love in this romance by Ms. Cameron? New York Times bestselling author Stella Cameron delights her readers with About Adam, another in her Mayfair Square series.

Adam Chillworth--a hard man, yet a man of principle and honor, talented artist of 7C Mayfair Square--is desperately in love with Princess Desirée. He could never have her, as she is a princess, he's much older, and her guardian has a duty to find a marriage alliance for her.

Princess Desirée has been in love with Adam since she was a teen. Now a woman, she will go to any measure necessary to have this man for her husband. She devises a plan that will get her what she wants: the love of her life, Adam.

While these two want each other, and while Adam holds his integrity to keep Desirée untouched, circumstances arise beyond both of their control. One or both of them have enemies that will go to any extreme possible to keep these two apart, all in the name of hate.

At the same time, there is a wondrous team of matchmakers, including Spivey, resident spirit, and the other residents of Mayfair Square who will also do anything to get these two together, all in the name of love.

One thing that I love about this book is the fact that everyone knows these two love each other. They keep trying to get Adam and Desirée together, albeit secretly, because she is still under the guardianship of her brother, Jean-Marc.

While we are incredibly touched by the astounding love between Adam and Desirée, we are also privy to drama done so very well. Why is it that there are those so determined to keep these two apart? Who are their real enemies? Will Desirée and Adam find their way to each other? Is it possible that their love can surpass some of these obstacles?

Ms. Cameron weaves a fantastic tale of intrigue, drama and passion into this romance. While with the support of some of their friends, and due to some near disastrous events, Adam and Desirée do manage to get together. All danger should have been past. Was it?

I am very pleased to say that I finished this book with tears in my eyes, a lump in my throat and a huge smile on my face. Ms. Cameron will always be a favorite of mine, and reading About Adam has increased my fervor to complete my backlist search of hers. Please pick up About Adam and the rest of the Mayfair Square series for an exhilarating reading experience.
