While I had a little trouble getting into this book, overall it’s a quick read even though it’s over 400 pages. There’s a lot more action and suspense then I thought there’d be, which I enjoyed. And of course a romance at the heart of it all.

It is universally accepted that Sabrina Jeffries’ writing is like comfort food – warm, delightful and makes you forget the pile of flaming garbage that 2017 has brought on us, even if it’s only for a snowy afternoon. Her characters always sparkle off the page, the plot is easy flowing and the dialogue is sparking and witty. Honestly, I needed this book right now, much more that the published needs my review, so trust me – get a copy as soon as this becomes available and escape to regency England (and a little bit of France) for a few hours, it’s a lovely experience, as usual. Recommend!

A flirty and fun romance between an actress playing a real life potential ruler of Belgium and the London political who recognizes her. The mystery of the assassination attempts on the princess get a bit convoluted.Otherwise, the characters and dialogue are both well drawn. A satisfying epilogue completes the whole package. This is the first romance by this author that I have read but it won't be the last.
