BACK OF BOOK SAYS: WHEN OLIVIA BEVELSTOKE is told that her new neighbor may have killed his fiancee, she doesn't believe it for a second but still how can she help spying on him, just to be sure? she stakes out a spot near her bedroom window cleverly concealed by curtains, watches, and waits and discovers a most intriguing man who is definitely up to something. sir harry valentine works for the boring branch of the war office translating documents vital to national security. he's not a spy but he's had all the training, and when a gorgeious blond begins to watch him from her window, he is isntantly suspcious. but just when he decides that she is nothing more than annoyingly nosy debutante, he discovers that she might be engaged to a foreign prince, who might be plotting against england. and when harry is roped into spying on olivia he discovers that hemight be falling for her himself. good points: 1. hero and heroine never denied their feelings 2. they never broke up for the better good. 3. the romeo and juliet serenading in this case by reading a book is cute. 4. it was fluffy and light and not too serious 5. the minor suspense builder at the end i guess was better than a you lied or there was a secret, so we have to break up kinda thing. it was alright, nothing really special about this book. it was light and fluffy, i think i like the bridgertons are better. but it passed an afternoon and when i stumble upon sebastians story i'll probably read it.Read full review

The title and the cover blurb were very enticing. The actual book didn't quite live up to the romantic intrigue described on the cover. The story was cute but, predictable for books of this genre. I got great service from this vendor and wouldn't hesitate to order from them again.
I enjoyed this book. Of course it was predictable but the characters were likeable and there was plenty of humour. I actually laughed out loud a couple of times! If you like a bit of a laugh as well as an escape from reality then this will while away a few hours very pleasantly. I will be looking for more books by this author.
