THE SPY WORE SILK
Andrea Pickens

Reviewed by Tammie Ard
Posted May 16, 2007

Historical | Romance

Siena has trained most of her life to be one of "Merlin's Maidens," and now she has the opportunity to use her skills and see justice done. When Siena is kissed for the first time by a stranger, she knows she likes it, but she can't afford to have soft feelings at a time like this.

Lord Kirtland may have been dishonorably discharge from the military, but the ton has no idea what they're talking about with the rumors they spread, and Kirtland could care less what they say. He's quite happy reading his books. When some very valuable items come up for sale, Kirtland is eager to get his hands on them, even if it means attending a house party. When a woman claims to be looking for a rich protector, Kirtland agrees to follow along in the game to win her favor, but something about her seems familiar.

THE SPY WORE SILK is fast-paced, sexy and thrilling. It will keep you on edge as you quickly turn page after page. I really enjoyed this story and can't wait for the next installment in this new series about the adventures of the students of Mrs. Merlin's Academy for Select Young Ladies -- a school where former orphans from the slums learn the arts of spying and seduction to become England's secret weapons.

SUMMARY

They were once orphans from London's roughest slums. Now they are students of Mrs. Merlin's Academy for Select Young Ladies, learning the art of spying and seduction. Bold, beautiful, and oh-so-dangerous, they are England's ultimate secret weapons. The most skilled of Merlin's Maidens, Siena must unmask a traitor lurking among an exclusive club of book collectors. Armed with only her wits, her blades, and her sultry body, she joins the gentlemen at a country house party. But her prime suspect, disgraced ex-army officer Lord Kirtland proves as enigmatic as he is suspicious-and sinfully sensuous. Kirtland's instincts tell him the enticing "Black Dove" is hiding more than a luscious body beneath her fancy silks. Yet as he starts to plumb her secrets, a cunning adversary lays plans to destroy them both. To live, Siena must end her tantalizing dance of deception and desire-and decide whether to trust her head or her heart.
