Although the action in the book keeps it moving and entertaining, there was less in the way of mystery and way more in the way of chick lit than I anticipated (full pages to describe a kiss). Part swashbuckler/part screwball comedy/part romance is the best way I can find to sum this one up.

Piece of fluff about a female successor to the Scarlet Pimpernel. Really fun, in spite of the stock bodice ripper love scenes

4 1/2 stars (but the system wouldn't let me click stars) A delightful tale of two young ladies and their devastatingly attractive male nemeses in 2 centuries. Eloise and Colin in the present and Amy and Richard in Napoleanic England and France are all such fun. As one who LOVES the Scarlet Pimpernel, book and both movies, this book was difficult to put down and I can't wait to read the sequel.

This was a fun read that was hard to put down. I enjoyed the characters and the situations, although I have to agree with other reviews that I could have done without the love scenes. I also love how a modern day romance is twisted through the story of the past. I couldn't wait to see what happens to Eloise next!

A great historical fiction with spys! A little rommance, a lot of adventure, and links to the present time. A great quick read.

Loved this book. Having the story split between historical times and the present made it very interesting, and it's more intelligent than most historical romances. The characters are smart and fun. Highly recommended.
