Let me qualify by pointing out that Amazon wouldn't let me choose less than five stars for some reason, but my choice would have been only two. I absolutely loved Ms. Brendan's first novel, The Practical Mistress, but this sequel involving Sir Jason Hunter's brother, Mark, is less than expected. While the hero is written very well, the heroine and the story itself could use some touch ups. You can almost feel that Ms. Brendan is forcing herself to finish a story she no longer feels any passion for writing. I was disappointed that she didn't meet the standards set in her previous novel, and I was sad that Mark wasn't given the story that he could have had with a little more effort. Overall, a quick and disappointing read, but I will still treasure the first novel.

Emily Beaumont is worried about her oldest brother, whose noboby has heard of in the last few weeks. Without a clue to his location and afraid that her brother has gotten into one to many scrape, she turns to Mark Hunter for help.
He, secretly half in love with Emily and in the name of friendship towards the brother, promises to do all he can(and he can do a lot).
There are villains, kidnappings, clueless parents, a friend falling in love with Emily's suitor, all in the best regency genre.
If you like historical romances, this is for you.

This is one writer that never fails you, I have read all her novels, and each one you read none stop till you reach the last page, this latest book is no exception. Book one was A Practical Mistress, the hero Jason Hunter, Book two: the Wanton Bride has his brother Mark Hunter playing hero. Would recommend any of her books, they all have wonderful story lines & are well worth the money. Collectors for sure, for any Regency fan. This lady does not know how to write a poor story.
