"Lady Alicia Lawrence was cast out of polite society and branded a liar for a youthful mistake. When she overhears details of a conspiracy that could affect her country's fate, she turns to the one person who might believe her--Stanton Horne, Lord Wyndham. Posing as Wyndham's mistress in order to root out the enemy, Alicia is drawn into an uneasy partnership...and a widly seductive liasion."Lord Wyndham's uncanny ability to detect lies has made him a valuable member of the Royal Four, but in matters of romance it has proven a distinct liability. Alicia is the only woman whose thoughts he cannot read...and the only one whose sensual touch quenches every secret desire. As the mission grows more dangerous and more personal, and each encounter with Alicia more fiery than the last, this daring spy must face his greatest challenge yet--learn to trust the passion in his heart..."
This is the final enstallment in the "Royal Four" series and I can safely say that the ending was quite a bang! The humor was witty and there were times where I laughed out loud--mind you I read this on an airplane on my way to Texas, so I think the other passengers thought me absolutely daft! Anyway, Lord Wyndham's personality is one that a reader does not come across very often. It draws you in and I devoured the whole novel in a matter of about three days. (I actually accidentally read this book first when it is actually the fourth book in the series...I still completely understood everything, but I wish I had paid more attention and read them in order. Don't make the same mistake I did!) Overall, I loved this book and it fit the series completely. Again, I would HIGHLY recommend Celeste Bradley and this whole series!
