I did not enjoy this as much as Michaels other Regency romances. A ton fop, who spouts French and loves his appearance more than any thing else, pays attention to a debutante and raises her popularity, but both have secrets to hide from the ton and are not as they seem. The backdrop is the poor living conditions of the working class and homeless soldiers following the Napoleonic war.
He hides behind the mask of the Peacock- in daylight a true wimpy kind of whiner- Micheals puts a good twist on it and I laughed and enjoyed the
story.

Very good book, with a great romance. One of Michaels' better books.
This is a fun book. I enjoyed it.
This book is an 'updated' version of THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL. Why the author thought anyone would be interested in rehashing an old story is beyond me. I finished the story but without much interest.
Christian St Clair is the fop of the ton; he is fashionably dressed, endlessly entertaining, and spends his midnight hours trying to make things easier for the downtrodden in Great Brittain. Everyone wants to find out who THE PEACOCK is -- some to see him hang and others want to bask in his reflected persona.
The first half of the story was fairly interesting, then it devolved into a mish-mash of various events.
