Welcome to Litsy!

This was alright- of all the books so far in this series (this is #5) this felt the most like the first one. Our MCs in the past are Robert and Charlotte, and between seeking revenge for a murder in India, trying not to fall for the Duke, and a plot involving Hellfire Clubs and a kidnapping of George III, the two fall in love. With lots of miscommunication of course. Eloise and Colin bumble along charmingly in modern day. A fun read.

This series gets better and better with each volume. Robert comes home to England from India so he can pursue the man who killed his mentor. Charlotte had a crush on him when they were kids. And with the help of her friend (a main character from a previous book) she has to save the king from a French plot. (More stuff in my blog review.)

Meh. The plot was cute, but the characters were boring. The hero was consistently too good to be true, & it was hard to believe that the heroine went from a quiet, bookish doormat to intrepid investigator in the space of like, two weeks. Not to mention the manufactured misunderstanding that felt confusing at best. Overall, the writing remained good (if less funny than the others), but there was a lot of yawning interspersed with eye-rolling. ★★★☆☆

Always a romantic romp

Another fun one of this series. Not as good as The Mask of the Black Tulip, but enjoyable.
