Book Description:
The acclaimed, award-winning author of The Bridal Season returns to the elegant drawing rooms and sprawling country estates of Victorian England...in the captivating tale of a woman who must prove she can keep an irresistible nobleman’s most scandalous secret--without losing her heart ...
Evelyn Whyte has never forgotten the night she first met Justin Powell--or the shocking indiscretion that left the raffish military hero eternally in her debt. Now, desperate to save her aunt’s foundering nuptial planning enterprise, she’s ready to call in her IOU. All she needs is Justin’s scenic ancestral home, where she’s determined to show the world that even a woman innocent in the ways of love can turn a simple wedding into the social event of the season.
Ten years earlier, Evie single-handedly saved him from scandal-wagging tongues, and Justin never reneges on a favor. Now, unaware of the daring double life he conceals behind a cloak of amiable gentility, Evie and her wedding party descend on North Cross Abbey, where her curiosity and forthright manner could imperil them both. Pursued by enemy agents amid a whirl of festivities, Justin vows to keep Evie safe. But who will protect him from the charms of this alluring woman--and the promise of a matchless love worth any risk?

Excellent. I liked it much better than The Bridal Season. The spy plot was a little too convoluted for my taste, but it didn't distract much from the romance. Justin and Evie have great chemistry. Their sparring matches are a riot.

Great heroine and some intrigue with good romance.

This was a fun and entertaining read. Even though I'm over overly fond of espionage plotlines, this book held my interest through the sparkly dialogue and a hero unlike romance hero I've read. Justin's charming, laid-back, and goofy- without a hint of tortured in sight, and watching him spar with Evie was lots of fun.
This last 3rd of the book wasn't as good as the fist 2/3. But I will continue to seek out Miss Brockway's backlist when I'm in the mood for romance.

Connected to other bride books all with totally different flavors! Excellent

Fun light-hearted romance. Two unlikely characters brought together by fate in a "save-the-country" spy plot.

This book was so much fun! The verbal sparring between Justin and Evie had me laughing out loud, as well as Justin's misogynistic, ever-suffering butler Beverly. But humor is not the only reason why I appreciate this book as much as I do. I absolutely fell in love with Justin and Evie--they are both such great characters. He is so adorably unwolfish, with his chameleon wit and ability to see beyond Evie's physical defenses. Evie is a wonderful heroine; I think many women can relate to her. She believes herself to be physically unattractive, but she has become a highly-competent, intelligent woman nevertheless through a staunch sense of honesty and strength of character. Justin was truly a hero, in that he finally forced Evie to see past her self-image, and to realize that she has worth beyond being competent and intelligent. And finally, Bubo Formosa Plurimus, Minor...that will always get me, everytime.

Valerie H. (To convince his father to disinherit him and reinstate his older brother, Terrance, Theodore "Theo" Winslow decides to come home with a totally unsuitable bride. When hiring an actress to play the role of his grasping, vulgar new fiancee proves too expensive, Theo turns to Sallie Ellis' brothel to see if she can spare one of her "girls" for a few days. Without telling Theo, Sallie convinces her cook, innocent, cheerful Molly Sweet, to take the job, because all Molly will have to do is pretend to like Theo in public. At first both Theo and Molly agree that their relationship is nothing more than a business arrangement, but as Theo gets to know Molly better, he finds he now hungers for something a bit more personal with his sweet Molly. With its excellent characterization, polished prose, and humor, Donnelly's latest Regency is a supremely satisfying, deftly plotted delight
