I liked the plot, which is built as a first-class detective story, but most of all I liked the two main characters and the dynamics of their relationship. A strong woman meets a strong man, and they are equal in everything that matters. Richard Maitland's character, a sort of a Regency James Bond, is especially admirable, and so also his assistant Harper's. An enjoyable read.

Arcanescar

A great story, plenty of intrigue, romance, and danger to keep me reading late into the night. Lots of twists and turns and loveable characters to entertain you. Loved it.

Kale

The best book in the series so far. The romance is better developed and the mystery more complex. I really enjoyed this one. 3.5 stars

Opilar

I enjoyed this book and loved the history involved.

Bynelad

The romance was too way too slow, their love confessions don't even happen until the second-to-last page, the story was hard to follow, I never saw evidence of Rosamund being prim and proper and "perfect," the intimacy scene was not even described! - It was something like, "Their coupling was long in coming and pleasurable." -

Skip this one.

Nagis

A fully entertaining story line with an intelligent hero and heroine and plenty of plot twists. Unexpected villain. Romance. Not a lot of sex scenes or graphic sex so you can pass it on to your mom or daughter. This is the first book that I have read in the series and I plan to read the others.

Sorry, but I cannot support the general "how great this is" sentiment. Elizabeth Thornton is a talented author, but this particular book is inconsistent and very contrived. All goes well up to our hero's escape from jail, which is interestingly executed and deserves 4 stars. However, from there ... the "who did it" aspect is non-existent (we find out from alternate point-of-view chapters quite early on); her body guards letting her go into a jail without escort is absurd; the author states clearly in the opening that lady is extremely polite and likable, but she doesn't act that way after entering the jail (she immediately transforms into bold adventure woman); the hero keeping her captive for so long feels contrived; everyone you can shake a stick at decides that he is innocent and must be helped; she falls in love with him without him once making her feel desired or desirable; and so on. What this book really needs is a technical reviewer to go through & tighten up all of the loose ends & inconsistencies. The first few chapters promised an lady concerned that she is too nice, too accomodating, too sheltered, and yet unable to change her basic personality. Had that personality been maintained, this would have been a better book.

I have so far been immensely pleased with anything this author has written. Even if you have never read any of her other works, this book can stand alone. With "The Perfect Princess" Richard Maitland, who was prominently featured in her two previous novels, has his own story.
Richard Maitland, war hero, spy extraordinaire, chief of special branches, and highly honorable has made some powerful enemies in his career. He does not suffer fools gladly and is usually portrayed as a `dour Scot' with few real friends - but those that he does name as friends are `sterling' in character as well. Richard has been attacked, made to look like a murderer, tried, convicted and two days away from being executed.
Lady Rosamond Devere, daughter of a powerful duke, and thought to be a perfect matrimonial choice for a prince is visiting a `friend' who `for a lark' wants to bring Richard Maitland - his `last meal' at Newgate prison. Unfortunately, the timing could not have been worse as Richard, with the help of his trusty bodyguard, Harper, is attempting a prison break at the time of their visit. Seizing the moment, and Lady Rosamond as a hostage, Richard and Harper make their escape.
This story from the very first pages has exciting suspense, a wonderful romantic duel of personalities - a dour Scot vs. the overly protected and pampered daughter of a duke - and superb dialogs. After several attempts at escaping Richard, Lady Rosamond, with nothing more to go on than his word, and possibly a sexual attraction, does eventually come to believe in Richard's innocence - and she and her powerful family do get behind and help Richard to find the real killers. Of course on top of this, these two very dynamic people get to create some very highly sensual and sizzling moments together - not without some hurtles to overcome with such a difference in their disparate backgrounds.
From the very beginning you will have non-stop excitement, a real page-turner and exceptionally good secondary characters. Wonderful writing - I'll read anything with this lady's name on it and keep it forever!
