Description

Sometimes hiding is the best way of being found…
Miss Agatha Beauregard has a theory about men. In fact she has a theory about almost everything. Rescued from the dreary confines of Hope Sands by the powerful Lord Henry Anglethorpe, and launched onto the ton as his sister’s companion, Agatha is determined to make use of her new found freedom by letting loose her scientific tendencies.
But Henry makes it clear he does not want the attention Agatha’s scandalous activities bring. As spymaster for the British government, he has been charged with tracking down the latest foreign agent to infiltrate London. However when the War Office also command him to take a bride, he finds he has only one lady in mind.
As Agatha hides from the results that her latest experiments have brought, Henry pursues her from one scandalous event to another. But before he can pounce, it becomes explosively clear that his future bride’s affections are engaged elsewhere, and she may not be all she claimed to be…

  • Lots of filler, unresolved points

    I think this book could have been edited better. The resolution was rushed and a little sloppy but the characters were very lovable, in my opinion. As the start of a series it does well introducing other characters and mystery
  • Feels long

    I feel like they dragged the story our way to long for what it was

    Excellent story with lots of intrigue and mystery. The main male character took a bit of developing his personality which made him mysteriously likeable. Well written.
  • Potential

    This was a very clunky read. The plot had potential. But I agree with some other reviews: character development was subpar. It wasn’t terrible, just not my fave.

    Don’t waste your time with this book. There are just so many things wrong with it, that I got half way through the book and couldn’t force myself to finish it. The characters were poorly developed. The story was very confusing. The scenes weren’t set well and I was having to reread parts to try to understand what the writer was trying to convey.
  • Inconsistent characters

    Reads as if it were translated from a different language with no editing. Confusing and hard to follow, with shallow characters that never came to life.
  • Could have been better

    I had a hard time reading this book. More often than not I had to go back and reread to understand how it went from A to C. The plot was good, I enjoyed the mystery of the book. But again, it was incredibly difficult to read the book
  • Good story but difficult to read

    The book is hard to read, the scene aren’t set up and characters are thrown in and you have to stop and wonder WTH! It’s like the person had to much caffeine and couldn’t get her thoughts together. Will not buy the next in the series.
