Although she has grey eyes, a full mouth and a thick chignon of indeterminate colour, Lady Mary is also a faithful reflection of the author. She did marry Colonel Walter Trefusis, who was 13 years older than her, but that is all that is currently known. While the time period is not necessarily known (to me) for women empowerment or feminist leanings, Lady Mary’s feelings and worries did not feel at all anachronistic, and I could readily identify with her. Mills and Boons is not my usual type of book I read but I was intrigued in the author Sarah Ferguson, and I wasn’t disappointed.

The novel reflects the improving strength of the writing team which brings to the table Marguerite’s vast writing experience in the historical romance genre, with almost sixty books in her portfolio, and the Duchess’s lifelong experience of the aristocracy. The characters, by and large, are likeable and interesting with the bulk of the focus rightfully on Mary and Tre. She currently campaigns for her international charity Sarah’s Trust which supports the smile of a child, and empowers children’s literacy and education globally.Anyway I would definitely recommend this book to any lover of romance, especially of historical romance and historical fiction.

I due si incontreranno a più riprese nel corso del romance, non riuscendo a creare una situazione stabile per un rapporto amoroso e avvicinandosi e respingendosi continuamente. It is at this party where Lady Mary also meets Colonel Walter Trefusis, a distinguished and extremely handsome war veteran.

With thanks to NetGalley and Mills and Boon for the advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. There is a lot of focus on the plot surrounding the hero and heroine, rather than their relationship with each other. I often wondered if some of the authors own personal experiences and battles influenced the emotive aspects of the plot. The two form an unlikely alliance to solve a series of audacious crimes—and indulge in a highly charged on-off romance.She is still very hurt and a bit bitter about him leaving her 3 years earlier (though they weren't really in a relationship at the time-they hadn't even kissed).

We are repeatedly told how independent and ingenious Mary is, but she comes across as whiny, and woe-is-me.I thought the last puzzle was leading us down a strange Charlie's Angel type avenue, which if i'm honest I found a bit less believeable. It’s the perfect cover for a sleuth, a role she stumbles into when trying to assist a close friend during a house party hosted by her parents at their stately Scottish home, Drumlanrig Castle.
