Product Description
Product Description
From the elegently appointed drawing rooms of London's most exclusive clubs to an imposing country estate in the heart of Dorset, comes a provocative tale of a free-thinking beauty, a dignified lord, and a mad impetuous love that defied all logic . . .
RENDEZVOUS
Augusta Ballinger was quite sure that it was all a dreadful mistake. The chillingly pompous and dangerous Earl of Graystone could not possibly wish to marry her. Why, it was rumored that his chosen bride must be a veritable model of virtue. And everyone knew that Augusta, as the last of the wild, reckless Northumberland Ballingers, was a woman who could not be bothered by society’s rules.
That was why the spirited beauty had planned a midnight encounter to warn the earl off, to convince him that she would make him a very poor wife indeed. But when she crawled in through his darkened study window, Augusta only succeeded in strengthening Harry’s resolve: to kiss the laughter from those honeyed lips and teach this maddening miss to behave! How could he possibly know that it was he who was in for a lesson . . . as his brazen fiancée set out to win his heart—and an old and clever enemy stepped in to threaten their love, their honor, and their very lives?

Augusta Ballinger (last of the wild, reckless Northumberland Ballingers) is quite sure that it is all a mistake that the chillingly pompous but dangerously disturbing Earl of Graystone wishes to marry her, they are complete opposites.
This is a good read and has an interesting plot in which Augusta tries to clear her brothers name who was murdered and everybody believes was a French spy, (including the Earl of Greystone who was Englands head spy Nemesis, who is still trying to catch a French spy named spider who was responsible for many deaths).
This is more than just a romance and also has the mysteries of who the spider was, whether Aususta's brother was a French spy and also some good secondary characters.
I had to take one star away for the severe over-use of the phrase 'Northumberland Ballingers' which became very annoying!!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
The beginning of it was quite good, even some parts of it were good but I honestly got fed up with the "being the last one of the blood line who are blah blah". In fact I ended quite wishing I could push Augusta over a cliff to add more edge to the plot. It was a good plotline but that overdid it and totally ruined it, turning into a much predictable thing. A pity characters like Peter Sheldrake didn't get as much chances to get on depicted their actions and likes, but for Augusta and Graystone they're total boredom when it comes to dialogues and anything like. THe only thing discussed along the way is the way Northumberland Ballingers are and how they rock and how Augusta must act to comply to them...Rubish. Can be fun some pages but a whole 360 gets irritating...Giving a 2 star is like too much even...but every book of Quick that I've read so far gets predictable as soon as the starring couple gets married soon in the plot...If you want a good couple dialogue and action with real good chemistry go and read Quick's I Thee Wed. My favourite so far.

One of Amanda Quick's best
I really enjoyed Rendezvous. I'd rank it as one of Amanda Quick's best - better than her later books. The action starts almost immediately. The constant bantering is fun. Read more
