I have a stack of books always waiting to be read...how I wish I'd read this one sooner! A great story, charming characters by an author who is definitely going places.

Giles and Sophia are at odds from the start. With the French Revolution as a backdrop, Giles is certain the thieving Brazen Angel knows what happened to a fellow foreign service operative and Sophia is determined to get enough money to free her aristocratic family from prison. They lead each other a merry chase from England to France and back. Giles is unable to catch and unmask the beautiful Angel, and she is determined not to allow him to find out that under her disguises she is his betrothed. Follow them through the dangerous alleys of Paris as their ultimate goal becomes "discovering" each other. A delightful first book.

I love 'The Scarlet Pimpernel', so I bought this book thinking it would be just as romantic and exciting. Well, I was sorely disappointed. The characters lack depth and the story was rather thin. I would rate it as 'readable'.

This is part of a three book series. I enjoyed it very much, as I did the others, and found it very entertaining. It is well written as would be expected of a book by Elizabeth Boyle. Both the characters and plot are captivating.

I'm a big fan of Elizabeth Boyle. To my pleasant surprise I found this was her first historical romance. The "Angel" is brave, sexy and a hero! I found the story well paced and fun.
