Rule #1: Never fall in love. Celeste Bradley captivated critics and readers alike with her unforgettable novel Fallen, which was nominated for the prestigious RITA Award from Romance Writers of America for Best First Book. Now, she brings us The Lover, the first book in the wildly fun, exciting, and sexy new Liar's Club series both featuring irresistible heroes who are out to steal their leading ladies hearts! She had a secret she'd do anything to hide. Agatha Cunnington, a headstrong beauty from the country, has come to London in search of her missing brother James. The only clue she has is a cryptic letter signed The Griffin. Agatha decides to disguise herself as a respectable married woman so that she can go about the city unnoticed. But for her charade to work she needs a suitable "husband," preferably someone tall, elegant, and rakish-someone like Simon Montague Rain. He had a secret he'd do anything to hide. Simon Montague Rain, also known as The Magician, is a member of The Liar's Club, a renegade group of rogues and thieves in the service of the Crown. When someone begins murdering members of the undercover cabal one by one, Simon is given the mission to bring in The Griffin, one of his comrades who is suspected of betraying his brothers. Simon goes undercover and infiltrates the home of "Mrs." Agatha Applequist who he believes is the Griffin's mistress. Before Simon knows what's happened, hefinds himself irresistibly drawn to Agatha's soft, feminine charms-and he is tempted beyond reason to break the first rule of The Liar's Club: never fall in love.… (plus d'informations)

I enjoyed how bold the heroine wasn't a fainting damsel constantly needing to be saved. I appreciated that the hero was attracted to her intelligence and strategy. I think the ending could have been less contrived. The heroine had proven herself by that point and the ending conflict could have been more believable. ( )

ehhhhh. I enjoyed it but didn't enjoy it, you know what I mean? ( )

This was a 3.5 for me. I thought it started very slowly and then about 1/3 of the way through I started to like it a lot. It was a 3 star start, a 4 star middle and a 5 star ending. These were really great characters, loved them both, and the complications they faced were more authentic than is the norm in these types of books. A fun read that keeps getting better. ( )

First read ever for this author. Well paced, humorous, interesting characters. I did spend the entire book feeling like I'd read the story before. This is mostly because I've read a dozen or more regency spy romances. I like Bradley's heroine as much as I like her ability to drive the story. ( )

E-book - I enjoyed most parts of this romance. The dialog was intelligent and I enjoyed the spy side of the book a lot. ( )

Description du livre
L'espion de la couronne

Avec pour seul indice une lettre signée " Le Griffon ", Agatha Cunnington part à Londres pour enquêter sur la disparition de son frère. Pour voyager tranquillement, elle s'est inventé un mari. Maintenant, il faut qu'elle trouve un homme pour tenir ce rôle. Elle engage Simon Mangue Raine, personnage peu conventionnel puisqu'il appartient à un club d'espions, tout comme le frère d'Agatha...

Un imposteur à la cour

Depuis quelques mois, un caricaturiste de génie épingle dans le London Sun les plus hauts personnages de la société anglaise. L'artiste, personne ne l'a vu... Aussi les curieux se précipitent-ils au bal des Rochester, où sa présence est annoncée. Et Clara Simpson n'est pas la moins intriguée. Il ne peut s'agir que d'un imposteur, car le mystérieux caricaturiste, c'est elle !
