    Georgiana Escott has one night to find the perfect man to ruin her and leave her with a tattered reputation so she can avoid an arranged marriage to an aging, despicable rogue.

    When Lord Danvers find himself entangled with a tempting Cyprian, his secret mission to expose a dangerous spy goes awry. Yet once he starts to unmasked this bewitching lady, he realizes the seductress who claims his heart may be the traitor he seeks. Mistrust makes them adversaries in a perilous game—but how can he dismiss his obsession with her when one night of passion entwined their lives forever?

      Jul 13, 2020

      There is only one rule in polite English society, but it is iron clad. Of course, polite English society is a fiction. For one thing, its members are rarely polite. Politeness is for the middle classes rather than those who live off ancestral acres o

      "One Night of Passion" is the story of Miss Georgiana Escott, a young woman who is about to be forced into an unwanted marriage, and Lord Colin Danvers, a naval officer on a secret mission. Discovering that the horrible man her guardian wants her to marry will only do so if she is proven to be a virgin (by a doctor) she runs off in the middle of the night to find a man to make sure she fails the test. She ends up spending the night in Colin's arms, then rushes out the next morning, leaving Colin a bit shocked and dissapointed, as he would have liked to continue their relationship. The story then cuts to a year later, in Italy. Colin is conducting a secret mission against the French. Georgiana, who has a child from the one night she spent with Colin, has fled England and is in Italy with her sister. While fleeing from the French, she finds herself on Colin's ship and eventually accused of being a French spy herself.

      This book is somewhat ridiculous and complicated. I never did entirely understand Colin's secret mission, and the whole premise of Georgiana having to ruin herself in order to save herself from a horrible marriage was a bit of a stretch. Why didn't she just run away? She was obviously willing to do it later... or just refuse to marry the guy?? She didn't HAVE to say "I do." I was also a bit distraught by the fact that she was carrying her daughter around in her luggage. WTF? Why wasn't she carrying the child in her arms like a decent mother? As I've found to be the case in Elizabeth Boyle's novels, she lets the complicated, somewhat silly plot run away with the story. This book is no exception.

      Lots and lots of spies! Girl has to be ruined in one night to avoid marriage to nasty old man - hooks up with hero, but they can't find each other afterwards. I'm not fond of plots based on people not telling each other vital information, but with spies, well, I can forgive it. This was silly but fun.

      I usually enjoy Elizabeth Boyle's books, but ONE NIGHT OF PASSION contains so many inconsistencies, coincidences, and unbelievable events that it detracts from the story. It's not just that the characters do not behave true to their time period, sometimes their actions make no sense at all. It seems to be too hurriedly written and not edited at all!
