Such a great read if you want a heroine who is a spy and a former duke. Their relationship is everything and I was glued to the pages and kept wondering what would happen next.

I definitely need to read more Lorraine Heath since this is the first book of hers that I have actually finished and enjoyed.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.
Didn’t like the writing style it felt to dramatic. Plus I now just realize that I haven’t enjoyed romance suspense novels as in late.

Lupin is insane with all the twists and turns he does in his adventures. I can see why many people are inspired by him he is the original gentleman thief.
