I was a bit disappointed that this was not as good as the previous book in this series, "Never Less Than A Lady". Lady Kiri and Mackenzie were different and interesting characters, but they didn't have the depth of Julia and Major Randall. At some points I thought I was reading a book by Stephanie Laurens-not that there's anything wrong with that-but I guess I just think Putney is at her best with the darker type stories, like "The Rake". Also, some parts of the plot seemed highly unlikely and incongruous for the era. An OK lightweight read.

I agree with Jerseygirltoo review. Putney is one of my favorite authors, and totally love most of her books. But for some reason I wasn't into Kiri and Mac's story.

I expected better things from the author. This book was a dud. There was overuse of the adjectives allure, and warrior queen. The character description was shallow, and they were so full of their own angst they couldn't seem to find redeeming qualities. So why did they fall in love? I've been a fan of Putney's for a long time, but this novel was a struggle to finish. I was happy to post it.

Well, I don't know if it was me or the book but I just didn't feel the love so to speak with the main characters. They were very OK but just didn't seem up to the standards I have come to expect from MJP. I really liked the others in this series.
A good story. A bit too much philosophizing, as usual with Putney. Well drawn characters and a convoluted plot.

I love this series but I at first it is slow getting into but then it exploded with a plot to kill the royal family. The main characters Lady Kiri and Mckenzie got into being agents for the British Secret Service to catch the spies and stop them from committing a horrendous crime. It starts to get a lot more. Implicated and a lot of fun too. A book you can really enjoy and cannot put it down.
