I liked this book. I am always amazed at how authors (like Lindsey) can come up with a fresh scenario every time. I found it a little tedious in the beginning, with all the description of the English monarchy, but beyond that, I thought it was entertaining. True, it was not one of my favorites of hers, but worth the time nonetheless. If you're looking for a real bodice-ripper, it won't be your cup of tea. ( )

Something was missing from this story, it is not as good as the earlier 2 in this series. ( )

Cheesy and trite. The heroine, Rebecca, is nicely intelligent and witty, and the hero sexy, but the ridiculousness of the misunderstandings - and how long those misunderstandings are drug out - kills the story.

Blech. ( )

I have to admit that this book was really disappointing. I love Johanna Lindsey but this effort of hers was very weak. I had to force myself to finish this book. I was not convinced of Rupert's and Rebecca's relationship. There really was no chemistry between then and the story line was really thin. There was little romance in this book and I hope the author's next book will be better. ( )

Book description
Lady Rebecca Marshall fulfills her mother’s fondest wish when she becomes a maid of honor at the court of Queen Victoria. Having been disappointed two years ago when the Duke of Norford’s heir Raphael Locke married another woman, Rebecca’s mother sees this court appointment as a golden opportunity for Rebecca. At court, Rebecca meets the charming marquis Rupert St. John, whom Rebecca knows as the devastatingly handsome n’er-do-well cousin of Raphael Locke, the man she was once infatuated with. What Rebecca doesn’t know is that Rupert is a secret agent of the crown who leads a double life.

Rebecca strikes up a lively flirtation with Rupert, but when Rupert realizes she’s spying on him he seduces her. He hardly suspects that she’s an innocent and he’s horrified when she reveals she is pregnant! Forced to the altar by their families, Rupert believes that Rebecca has set a trap of the worst sort in order to marry into the powerful Locke family. And her vows that theirs will not simply be a marriage in name only; he plans to enjoy many passionate nights with his beautiful, scheming wife.

With her trademark humor, memorable characters, and passionate storytelling style, it’s no wonder that Johanna Lindsey has more than sixty million copies of her novels in print.
