While on a mission in Dieppe, France in 1827, the
handsome Gregory Vyse, Baron of Fulkham savors the local
brandy and the local theater which his companion, Captain
Lord Hartley, had convinced him to attend. Surprising
himself, he finds himself captivated by the loveliness
and talent of the young actress, Mademoiselle Monique
Servais. Despite their short and inglorious meeting,
thoughts of her linger in Gregory's mind.
Time passes and three years later, London is buzzing with
preparations for the London Conference of 1830 to settle
on the first ruler of the new independent country of
Belgium. Dealing in intelligence and secrets, there is
nothing Lord Fulkham enjoys more than being at banquets
where they fall from people's lips like tasty crumbs.
So, at a gala dinner, he looks forward to meeting the
Princess Aurora of Chanay, one of the top contenders for
the position. As he notes her confidence and beauty, he
thinks he has seen her before. How could that be? Is
this the real princess or an imposter?
Right from the first page, you are immediately enchanted
and held spellbound by New York Times bestselling author
Sabrina Jeffries' delightful sense of humour as you can't
wait to find out how they will connect again or if and
how he will reveal who the princess really is!
THE SECRET OF FLIRTING reads exceptionally well as a
standalone romance and longtime fans are sure to be
thrilled with this fifth book in Jeffries' Sinful
Suitors
series. THE SECRET OF FLIRTING is a sexy and
scintillating historical romance filled with political
intrigue, pent-up passion, interesting characters, and
amusing scenes that almost make you laugh out loud.
One of the things I particular appreciate about Jeffries
is her extensive research and ability to seamlessly weave
in authentic details and language that brings the period
alive for the reader. I particularly appreciate how she
was able to bring in many "real" people into the story
and fully appreciated her Author's Notes section at the
end of the story that covered who was and what was in
reality. I also like how the plot also highlights how
difficult life can be, especially as Monique cares for
her grandmother with dementia and the full impact of what
can happen if private happenings become a public
scandal.
THE SECRET OF FLIRTING overflows with rapier sharp wit
and double entendres as Monique and Gregory attempt to
out maneuver the other without causing a scandal for
either or both of them. The romance between the two of
them may seem predictable, yet, the path and the plot is
full of fresh and unexpected twists and happenings. So,
grab a copy of exciting and sexy romance and find out
THE SECRET OF FLIRTING!
The moment spymaster Baron Fulkham meets the stunning
Princess Aurore of Chanay, he's positive her royal persona
is a ruse and that she's actually Monique Servais, the
mysterious actress he met three years before in Dieppe. But
as he pursues his suspicions, he uncovers a plot of
attempted assassination and betrayal that could very well
destroy his career, expose his own secrets...and ruin the
woman he's rapidly coming to love.
The Secret of Flirting is a sizzling historical
romance filled with fast-paced storytelling, an enchanting
heroine, and a sexy hero, perfect for fans of Regency romance.
