Media reviews
Praise for The Counterfeit Mistress:
"Underestimating Alban Norwood, Viscount Kendale, almost cost Marielle Lyon her life. At first, Marielle believes the English nobleman following her is nothing more than a handsome nuisance, but Alban quickly disproves this theory when he rescues Marielle from a rendezvous with two of her confederates that turns deadly. As it turns out, Alban has his own reasons for saving Marielle’s life since he believes she is a French spy, and he wants to wring out every ounce of information from her that he can. As a former officer in the British Army, Alban is used to skirmishing with the enemy, but engaging in an ongoing battle of wits with the oh-so-seductive Marielle could very well prove to be a losing battle. Combining a Regency-set romance with spies has always been a popular idea, but few romance writers do it with the graceful sense of élan and subtly sophisticated use of sensuality as RITA award–winning Hunter." --Booklist
Praise for the novels of Madeline Hunter:"Another stellar Regency-set historical romance that hits all the literary marks. Hunter’s effortlessly elegant writing exudes a wicked sense of wit; her characterization is superbly subtle, and the sexual chemistry she cooks up between her deliciously independent heroine and delightfully sexy hero is pure passion." --Booklist (starred review)
"Intelligent and memorable...As smart and sharp as the best of Regency romances can be. With its tangy dialogue, Pride and Prejudice themes, bits of mystery and nefarious characters, readers may be reminded of Jane Austen." --Romantic Times (Top Pick)
“Hunter’s books are so addictive.”—Publishers Weekly
“Hunter's flowery centerpiece will suit every romance table. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal
