Summary of this Book... | ||
Miss Caroline Trent is running away. Running away from the sixth guardian to view her fortune as something to better their personal future with. She figures she only has to suvive six weeks before she turns 21 and can legally spend her fortune. However, she did not figure on being abducted in the middle of the night, by Blake Ravenscroft. Nor did she figure that he would mistake her for a Carlotta de Leon, a traitor to the Crown. But he did. And now she is tied to a bed post, coughing her brains out, as Blake (an agent in the War Office) interrogates her about the illegal doings of her guardian, Oliver Prewitt. What a muddle. To further complicate things, Blake and Caroline quickly develop feelings for each other. With nary a chaperone in sight. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
A light read with plenty of good humor. The plot is a forgone conclusion after the second chapter, but as I liked the characters so much, I didn't mind. And I was edified as I read the teaser line at the beginning of each chapter. (a good vocabulary builder ) A book to pick up for a day at the beach. | ||
