Lies and deception - By: Wyvernfriend, 10 Oct 2007 
Louisa is hidingin plain sight as a dowdy widow. Her past is something that she's ashamed of & she holds out little hope for a happy future. Anthony Stalbridge is interestedin her & their first real encounter is when he kisses her outside Elwin Hastings' bedroom while they're both attending a ball.
His reasons for being there are different to hers. She's investigating for a scandal sheet, while he's trying to find out whether his fiancee's death was truly a suicide. Both of them have an interestin Mr Hastings & they propose to join forces to bring him to justice.
With a lot of twists & turns this story brings the two characters together & is quite an amusing read. I enjoyed it immensely & look forward to more of the same.
easy read - good beach book - By: GS Pat, 21 Sep 2007 
Typical of the Amanda Quick book formula - lady of mystery meets man of mystery, followed by sex, danger & rescue - end with happily ever after. Seems to be missing the 'special something' her earlier books have (and the reason I started reading her books). It is still a good read - worth taking to the beach as you don't have to pay close attention to the plot. One major distraction has been the over use of the word 'that'. It has become so distracting, I found myself mentally rewriting the text just to avoid the word.
Still, I'll continue to read her books whenin the mood for a light romantic-adventure.
Excellent Read - By: bookworm, 03 Sep 2007 
AFTER A BIT OF A SLOW START THIS TURNED INTO A REALLY GOOD STORY. ENJOYED ANTHONY AND LOUISA'S STORY VERY MUCH AND NOW RE READING OTHER AMANDA QUICK BOOKS.
