    Say the 1 star and almost didn't read it.... if you've real Emmaline the story continues on nicely and it's perfectly fine.

    Terrible book. What a waste of time! The lead pair have no character at all.

    I prefer my regency romances to be more based in London and with the surrounding ‘Ton’. This wasn’t and I didn’t love the espionage angle either. But the writing isn’t bad.

    this rake of mine was a fun read. humor, a mild mystery, and scandal. how can you go wrong?

    This was just an okay story that should have been better, considering how much I loved it's predecessor, Something About Emmaline. Here we find out what happens to Miranda Mabberly after wild Lord Jack Tremont kissed her passionately one night at the opera and scandalized all of London! This should have been a glorious entertaining story, but it lost me when it took a turn towards spies and pirates instead of centering on Jack and Miranda's promising storyline. The slow start didn't help either. Oh well, they all can't be winners. It wasn't bad, but I was hoping for something more than a school teacher spinster falls for rogue type storyline.

    Miranda is a young girl caught in a kiss with an infamous rake who mistakes her for his mistress. She is only 16 and already ruined. We meet up with her ten years later as a decorum teacher in a girl's finishing school. She has been shunned by society, cut off by her family and has changed names. So, when she meets up with the rake that ruined her he doesn't recognize her underneath her plain clothes and dowdy chignon. The author weaves a good spy plot throughout this romance. The story is a bit slow at the beginning but towards the end you are caught up in whether or not Jack will ever realize that the woman he is dealing with is the young girl he ruined so long ago.
