I believe this is one of the best books on historical romance that i've ever read, cried upon and marvelled at. Nathaniel Praed is a truly cool guy, a sophisticated and suave secret agent (reminds me of Timothy Dalton's James Bond). And Gabrielle, it has always been that Italian actress, Monica something whose fame is rising in Hollywood, whom i believe should grace her character.
And whilst i applauded Gabrielle's skills (hunting, horseriding, safe cracking) , I just do not agree that she can join the hunting troop without as much as remorse looking at the activities. Anyway, as she's not as squeamish as I am, I think this is one of her strongest feature. If not, she wont have been able to safe Nathaniel (cutting the rope with the piece of glass ) in the last fighting sequence in the boat to France.
