Review taken from my Blog Post #106 in April 2011 - book borrowed from the library.It was a complete delight to get my hands on another Liz Carlyle book ... it didn't disappoint ... up to her usual standard with a 4 **** Star rating. Well written and witty, featuring yet again Mr Kemble, although there was a little disappointment that he wasn't that wonderfully violent in this one.Lady Phaedra Northampton (the Sister of Lord Nash) is a very proper and quiet English Miss, only really it seems interested in her Bluestocking pursuits - she does, however, have a dark secret in her past.When her Maid's Sister goes missing from the village she gets pulled into the seedy underworld to try and find out what happened to her. When she's almost the witness to a murder, she develops a new friendship, and meets the former mercenary Tristan Talbot, Lord Avoncilffe, who has been asked to investigate the dark secrets behind a spy ring which disguises its activities behind a notorious brothel.In what should have been a simple assignment the pair become deliciously entangled against deadly enemies and their passionate natures. Well written historical romance. Usually cliches abound (rogue-ish hero on outs with titled father who is a big deal in the gov't, wallflower heroine who borders on blue-stocking, etc, etc, etc). But they are presented as fully rounded characters, not cartoons. And even though the action is a bit over the top, the sentiments are good and the two main characters do share a good chemistry. You can believe the romance part of the story.

I really liked this book. Not usually a fan of these types, but had a superb ending!

Apparently, I like my heroines to be bluestocking spinsters.

Not as good as her older ones, that's for sure.
