Not worth the money,
By mrs L (uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Too Hot For A Spy (Zebra Debut) (Kindle Edition)
I must say I am sorry to say, that I actually didn't finish the book. As it wasn't worth the time. It's based in regency England but it doesn't feel like the author did any background check. I gave it two stars, for the effort really but I wouldn't recommend it at all to anyone

Real Regency Fans Beware,
By Bookbabe "GailB" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Too Hot for a Spy (Zebra Debut) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you really enjoy and appreciate some accuracy in your Regency-set books please steer clear of this one - I've been reading Regencies for over 40 years and this is probably in the Top Three worst I've ever tackled. Maybe I'm not being fair because I couldn't finish the book. Maybe it got better beyond page 50, or page 100, or maybe it didn't. I couldn't take the chance. The plot revolves around the daughter of a duke who 1) works at the Home Office as a clerk (insert buzzer sound here); 2) the inadvertantly meets our hero at a ball where he does something naughty to her on the terrace (insert buzzer sound again); 3) she's wanted to become England's first female spy for YEARS and is accepted at Spy School, and her parents (the duke & duchess) allow her to trundle off to the country to spy school, a young, single, innocent daughter of a duke (insert LOUD buzzer sound here). This isn't even an anachronistic book, it's silly. While some would argue the differences between what would/could happen in the real Regency vs the RegencyLand in our historical romances, there are some accepted customs, values and mores of the era and this book throws them all out the window with the dish water. And that's just not nice. But you know what burned me most? When. An. Author. Does. Something. Like. This. For. Emphasis. Sadly, our heroine has 4 sisters and 1 brother and Wolf has plans for more books about the Fairchild siblings.

SAVE your money!,
By Roxann P "avid reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Too Hot for a Spy (Zebra Debut) (Mass Market Paperback)
I would love to meet with the person who thought this book was worth publishing! Even at only $3.99 it is no bargain. The spymaster may be a hero from Waterloo but I think he left his manhood there! He takes too much crap from the spoiled brat heroine who doesn't understand the first thing about being a spy. She has to be bipolar or something! She only follows the orders that suit her, but the only consequences when she doesn't obey orders is to be kissed or "tupped" by the spymaster.
And speaking of tuppings... there are many a love scene in the book and if you enjoy strange and inappropriate places/times for them then maybe you would enjoy this book. I can think of no other book/genre who would have the main characters "make love" in the middle of a mission with a dead man's next to them who had his brains blown out! 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

Save Your Money - skip this one!,
By cb - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Too Hot for a Spy (Zebra Debut) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is not the first novel this author has written - just the first one in this style. The concept is the a duke's daughter Olivia is accepted to 12 week training program to become a spy. At first that concept works - until she is asked to follow orders and listen. She falls in love with one of her instructors (who is has encounter with earlier in the book and then seem to gloss over...) and doesn't understand that he is her lover and her BOSS.
I almost never say this but - I would suggest save your money - I wished I did! |
