Indiscretion (Sonnet Books) [Mass Market Paperback]

Queen Victoria sends these two, in the company of Patrick's eccentric aunt, to investigate the death of Anne's uncle - was it murder or did he die of natural causes? While determining that is the basis for the story, it does not IN THE LEAST bog down the romantic interplay between Anne and Patrick, or the clever banter with and between secondary characters who are wonderful as well.

Anne wants nothing to do with him and Patrick will do anything to get her back, even if it means suffering from "housemaid's knee" while pretending to be her butler. This is an incredibly witty farce and is a far more sexual book than others I've read by author Hunter in the past. It's terrific!

Seriously, I have a wonderful time reading "Indiscretion". Wonderfully wicked repartees fly sharp and fast, along with hot hot hot bawdy love scenes and foreplay enough to steam up one's spectacles. And even better, there is enough emotional poignancy to add substance to this wonderfully wicked and witty farce.

Definitely recommended to anyone looking for love and laughter. Forget going to a shrink or binging on ice cream, this book works much much better. Oh, and I'm not the author's mother, by the way.

The story is of Anne Kerr, who has never gotten over the scandal of a brief affair with Patrick Sutherland before he left to fight with the infantry. She was then quickly married off to his cousin so her parents wouldn't have to deal with the headstrong girl any longer. Seven years later, Patrick and Anne are thrown together by royal decree - they must investigate the mysterious death of an uncle, with the help of Aunt Nellwyn, a widow who has outlasted several husbands but will never overlook a good time.

The story is set at Anne's hunting lodge with Patrick acting as her butler, which in itself brings about many humorous situations. One of the best things that Hunter brings to her books is her vivacious characters and their amusing repartee. She has compelling women and romantic men who always seem to have battles of wits throughout her books.

This tale will have you laughing your way through as you try to figure out who the villain is that killed Uncle Edgar and then on to the last page. Indiscretion should be a definite addition to your list of "must read" books!
