When he is set upon in a London street, he finds it hard to be grateful because his rescuer is not only a woman, but French into the bargain! Juliette Bergerine has learned to keep herself safe by avoiding undue attention, but now her life is also in danger and, together, she and Drury must take refuge in a mansion in Mayfair. There, this broodingly cynical man proves an irresistible show more temptation.... show lessTags

"A Lover's Kiss" is a Harlequin Regency romance by Margaret Moore that is connected to "Kiss Me Quick" and "Kiss Me Again". This time our hero is the famed barrister Sir Douglas Drury. Drury was betrayed and tortured during the war and therefore has a passionate hatred of the French. Therefore, he's quite surprised when he's saved from an attack by Juliette, a penniless French seamstress. Juliette is later attacked by the same ruffians and she flees to Sir Drury for safety. They end up having to share a Mayfair townhouse and nobody is more surprised than Drury to find out that his perfect woman is French!
A delightful frolic thru the Regency era with appearances by heroes and heroines from her former 'Kiss' novels. A fun afternoon's reading.
