SummaryIn the final installment of RITA Award--winner Brockway's
Rose Hunters Regency trilogy (My Seduction; My Pleasure),
Charlotte, youngest of the Nash sisters, behaves like a
flirt and a romp (words trotted out by the author a bit
too often to describe her) in order to spy more
effectively on enemies of the Crown. When St. Lyon, a
French loyalist resident in London, lays hands on a
valuable letter, Charlotte is determined to do what she
can to retrieve it. Unfortunately, the only way to get
close to St. Lyon is to pretend to be his mistress—and to
be convincing, she must allow herself to be ruined very
publicly. Who better to do the ruining than attractive
fellow spy Andrew "Dand" Ross? The two are unable to deny
the passion they feel for one another, but Charlotte's
decision to destroy her reputation strains their
relationship. While readers will enjoy seeing Charlotte
more fully developed than in her sisters' tales, the
prospect of her impending prostitution casts a pall over
the book. Dand, too, is so dark and brooding that he
becomes almost a caricature of himself, and the novel's
resolution feels almost madcap when compared to the
narrative's earlier slow pacing.
