Actually, the whole book was filled with little moments of humor that I enjoyed very much. Tucket – she was definitely an anomaly, but she was entertaining. I also loved Prudence Lancaster and can’t wait to learn more about her. One I particularly liked was Lady Cassandra because she was always Fiona’s partner in crime – actually, she was the instigator more often than not. There are some interesting and very likable secondary characters that I very much enjoyed and I’m sure we’ll meet several of them in future books. In this lovely, well-plotted, witty and well-delivered book, we reacquaint ourselves with Tobias Powell who is now the Earl of Overton since his father died almost three months ago, and we meet his new ward Miss Fiona Wingate. There, we met the principal players as well as the reason behind the club, how it works, and why it is so very exclusive. Burke very nicely set up the premise for this series in the prequel (Invitation). ![]() |
