I’m not usually one for French books but, ohh la la. Gregory was definitely a man made of dreams,. He was handsome, smart, ambitious, loving, the kind of man who knows what he wants and goes after it. I really enjoyed the characters and the storyline. Sabrina Jeffries is always an author I can count on for a magical story where the reader can jump into the shoes of their favorite character and go for a ride.

Secrets abound in The Secret of Flirting. Gregory Vyse, Baron of Fulkham has plenty; some as a spymaster, and some in his past. Mademoiselle Monique Servais has a few of her own, some even she is not aware of. Coming from a theatrical family, she supports herself and her grandmother by acting. Her fortunes seem to chance when she is approached to take the place of Princess Aurore from Chanay. Unfortunately, the princess is deathly ill, fortunately Monique could be her twin. Unfortunately, the princess needs to be in England as she is a candidate to be Queen of Belgium. Monique makes a deal with the Count Dr Beaumonde to portray Aurore. However, this puts in in contact with the one man she has not forgotten in three years, the Baron Fulkham. Will be recognize her for who she really is? He also has not been able to forget her from their one brief meeting? Will he expose her? If he does not and the truth is found out, it will sink his career.. What is his deepest, darkest secret? Who is trying to kill the princess and why? There are several possibilities. This is a fast paced read, very nicely done. I have read many of Ms.Jefferies books, and have enjoyed all of them. Her characters are always well done with the heros, heroines, side characters very likable and the villains dastardly. We also get to catch up on characters from previous reads. A very nice read, indeed!

Sabrina never ceases to write fun, romantic, and enjoyable books for all. I seriously never want to put them down. Can someone whisk me off my feet to the places she takes me as I read???

Sabrina Jeffries delivers an amazing tale of love, lust, and romance to her readers in The Secret of Flirting. I've followed this authors journey from what seems like forever and she has not let me down yet. This novel is a delight and I recommend all readers of romance to read it!

Very interesting book. The beginning was very slow, but good story and romance. Thanks to Netgalley, for this free copy.

I normally love Sabrina Jeffries, and this book hasn't put me off her, but the story felt flat and forced. It took me a couple of tries before I could really get into it, and then the chemistry between Baron and Monique didn't feel real which was difficult for me because I loved the circumstances surrounding the two of them. In the end, it was unraveling the mystery and intrigue that had me turning the pages and not them.

This is a bog-standard Jeffries book. I enjoyed it, but do not think I will be revisiting it. If someone likes her books, then they'll like this one.

I always enjoy Sabrina’s books! This was such a fun read. Gregory and Monique are fun characters and both have a lot to lose if things don’t work out. Since I love the theatre, I loved that Monique was an actress. I also enjoyed seeing the characters from previous books in the series.

While this is not one of my favorites by Jeffries, I still enjoyed this romance with spy elements. I would have liked a little more guesswork. Don't give it all away so soon.

A great story. Sabrina Jeffries is never disappointing. A spy and phony princess, an attempted assassination and betrayal. This one has it all.

** I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley**

I’ve read enough Sabrina Jeffries to know how her stories work and this one is no different. That’s not a criticism at all - I keep reading her books after all. She’s one of those “comfort read” authors. I go back to her stuff when I need something fun and fluffy.

This story fit that bill for sure. I liked the whole princess plot and that it wasn’t for any nefarious reason. The characters were good and the ending was satisfying. I need to read the other books from this series (I think I’ve read one or two - I’ve fallen behind). But I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

Sabrina Jeffries' The Secret of Flirting is a fantastic addition to the A Sinful Suitors series. It was witty, sexy and a fantastic read!

While I did like some parts of this book. toward the end it fell short of what I normally expect of the author.

This held my attention, but wasn't my favorite of Jeffries' Sinful Suitors series. Because the reader learns the heroine's secret early in the book, it takes away some of the drama from the hero trying to find out the truth. But the plot is well-paced and I enjoyed seeing familiar characters from previous books.

I was hooked from the first chapter to the end. I loved the characters. I enjoyed the push and pull between Gregory and Monique. Monique's devotion to her beloved grandmother was sweet. I liked how this book is part of a series, yet is a wonderful standalone. Love it!

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!

The Secret of Flirting has a rapid changing dynamic storyline with the Prologue not only getting my attention but keeping me glued to the pages. Filled with interesting characters and danger as well as well written scenic descriptions this reader escaped for a while to the world of make believe.

Author Sabrina Jefferies continues to amaze me with her well written plots and the obvious detailed research she does for her stories shows in this book.

Both main characters are flawed but easy to come to love. This makes them real and believable. Monique does an excellent job of confusing Baron Fulkham and it was fun reading her ways of keeping him from discovering things he shouldn't.

Baron Fulkham is like a bulldog with a bone and he refuses to let things stay as they appear. His monitoring every word Monique says and trying to trip her up in her story was handled with finesse so it did not become redundant.

How the author ends this story will be rewarding for the reader and for this reason I give it 5 stars.

Wonderful story with flirtatious characters. Monique was my favorite and the star. So glad i got to read this book. I grab any Jeffries book I can get my hands on and this one lived up to all her others.

This story of Fulkham & Aurore was a good read but I found it repetitive in parts. The characters were good & the story of subterfuge worked well. I just found it a bit lacking & I can’t quite say what it was but I think that Aurore needed a bit more oomph as I fling myself wanting her to stand up for herself a bit more.

From the moment Baron Fulkham met Princess Aurore of Chaney, he knows she’s not the princess, but an actress he met several years ago that totally entranced him. He’s determined to get to the bottom of why.
This was a great story as are all of this author’s books. She creates great characters in familiar settings, has a way of connecting the characters in her books seamlessly, and is able to throw in some good drama. This one had a couple of twists I hadn’t actually seen coming, but really enjoyed. Once I started this book, i didn’t really put it down until it was done. I look forward to her next book.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

Ooooh! Intrigue and hot sexual tension are abound in The Secret of Flirting.
Spymaster Gregory, Baron of Fulkam, has to have his wits about him when he meets Princess Anne, he’s sure he’s seen her before on the stage as she actually is being replaced by a actress named Monique, a lady he’d met several years before.
The story opens up to intrigue and a clever mystery develops with danger lurking for Monique and the Princess. A tight drama and hot romance are in the cards for this excellent plot line and Ms. Jeffries characters were excellent for the story as usual.
A story not to be missed. I highly recommend it!
