Publisher's Summary

Fact: Drawing under a male pseudonym, Maggie is known as Lemarc. Her (his!) favorite object of ridicule: Simon Barrett, earl of Winchester. He's a rising star in Parliament - and a former confidant and love interest of Maggie's who believed a rumor that vexes her to this day.

Fiction: Maggie is the half-Irish harlot who seduced her best friend's husband on the eve of their wedding. She is to be feared and loathed, as she will lift her skirts for anything in breeches. Still crushed by Simon's betrayal, Maggie has no intention of letting the ton crush her as well. In fact Lemarc's cartoons have made Simon a laughingstock... but now it appears that Maggie may have been wrong about what happened years ago and that Simon has been secretly yearning for her since...forever. Could it be that the heart is mightier than the pen and the sword after all?

It was good, not great.

I enjoyed the first novel immensely. This one falls a bit flat. I enjoyed the idea of long ago first loves and even the reason for their separation… I just found it a bit dragging near the second half of the novel. Even as the end was on the horizon, I found myself wanting it to be over quicker just to be done it and on to Quint’s story as I found his character more compelling then the Maggie and Simon characters. Simon I liked from the first novel but found this one to fall flat. It was a good novel but not great! Again, I found the voice soothing but the male character voices lacking

Enjoyable, narration good!

Enjoyed this book, story moved along well, a bit of a mystery to wait for at the end! Loved that.
