Product Description

Review
'Well written, filled with engaging characters and intrigue, A Kiss of Spice is a most appealing romance.' - ROMANTIC TIMES BOOKCLUB

Product Description
By all outward appearances, Mrs Merlin's Academy for Select Young ladies is indistinguishable from other English boarding schools. But the Academy's students are all orphans - they've been plucked from the streets for their toughness and intelligence, and with training in manners, martial arts, swordsmanship and deportment, they are transformed into English spies. One such woman, siena, is chosen for a highly dangerous job: to infiltrate an elite circle of British aristocrats and uncover which one is selling state secrets. Forced to resign his army commission, Adrian Henning, the Earl of Kirtland, feels joy only in the company of books. But his weekly meeting with The Gilded Page, a very exclusive club of book connoisseurs, is ruined by the sudden appearance of London's newest and most notorious courtesan, the Golden Dove. The Golden Dove is, of course, Siena, and the reclusive Earl of Kirtland proves to be most difficult to investigate. As they each try to decipher what game the other is playing, the plot thickens, and they must work together to bring down the real enemy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Intro to Andrea Pickens, 20 Dec 2007
This is the first book that I have read of Ms Pickens and the start of her new series. The characters were well written and the story line intriguing. I was saving this book for my journey to and from work. I just could not put the book down until it was finished.

It is a good read and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Lisa Kleypas earlier works or Anne Stuart's historical novels. There is a tension in the storyline that is a page turner.

I don't normally write reviews on Amazon and this is only the second time that I have done so. I am waiting for her next novel in the series with anticipation. If you would like something for a relaxing Sunday afternoon read, treat yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than many others, 14 Dec 2008
I have read a good many regency romances in my time and this is one of the best. The story moved along at a fast pace and I looked forward to seeing how it would unfold although, of course, I knew that Julian and Siena would get together as a couple in the end. The book also introduces Shannon and Sofia, also from the Merlin Academy and I look forward to reading their stories too,
