This book is amazing. It surprises and delights me.

+ One of my favorite books

Annique is French and works as a spy for the French. Robert Grey is the British head of spies. Leblanc is French military and has captured them both and put them in the same dungeon. I don't want to say any more about the plot because much of the fun was in the surprises. Readers will enjoy ...

Superb - absolutely so.

+ Info on the tapes

I loved the movie Dangerous Liasons with Glenn Close and John Malkovich and decided to try this audio version of the book. I can't say it was better than the movie, but the audio is superb. It is on 3 CDs and so is longer than the movie and supplies more detail. Since it is in letter form, its ...

Truly Unforgettable Characters!

+ Props to Gaffney for daring to be dark

What an astonishing book this is. I read a lot of romance and mostly they are forgettable stock characters doing the same things over and over. Occasionally a book comes along that has such unique characters and riveting storyline that you will never forget it. These two characters have ...

I feel this book is above and beyond any other HR book I've read. It isn't your normal boy meets girl, they hate each other, have sex, etc. This book has substance and feeling. Yes, the book has a very dark side for awhile, but to me that is what makes the love story so much better! As Maddy ...

Absolutely loved it.

+ Beautiful story.

Hard to believe this novel is already 10 years old. Seeing how so many romances are trivial and frivolous it was a pleasure to read a story that takes itself seriously. The gorgeous blonde hero, Seward, is a wonderful creation. From his back story to his current situation as a spy with 2 masters he ...

I finished reading this book in 1 day. This is Lucian's story. The "fallen" twin who just never quite measures up to his brother. A spy who hosts "orgies" in his underground grotto to gain useful information for national security. A man who is the verge of personal collapse. He has seen, ...
