[.ca] Brazen Angel (ISBN 0440613701)

From Amazon.com:
Lady Sophia D'Artiers plays a dangerous game. By day, she is the fragile and ailing Lady Sophia. By night, she is the Brazen Angel, who lures titled gentlemen into a dangerous game of seduction. Unfortunately for Lady Sophia, her aunt has betrothed her to Giles Corliss, Lord of Trahern, who is sure to put a stop to her midnight escapades. The Lord has no urge to marry either. His father's last request was that he marry and produce an heir, but he'd much rather be off on another dangerous mission for the Foreign Office. Alas, their wedding date is set and the preparations begin, but neither Sophia nor Giles could have prepared themselves for the breathless passion that erupts between them. --Lois Faye Dyer

Sexy and fun:
Lots of action and adventure in Elizabeth Boyle's first book! This was a fast read with few problems! I really liked the development of the relationship between the two!

Intrigueing and Suspenseful:
This book was an excellent romance, with good characters mixed in with interesting history. Giles Corliss, Lord of Trahern, is looking for a woman whon London is calling the Brazen Angel. She is a woman who lures men by promising pleasure, and then robs them blind. Now, Giles is sure he's found her, and the reason why whe is committing these robberies. His quest to learn all the identities of the Brazen Angel will lead him on an adventure of mystery and intrigue in Robespeirre's Terror in France, and hopefully, to a life with his one true love. However, will their dangerous quest cost them their lives? Each of the characters was endearing. The Brazen Angel was clever, intelligent, and brave beyond all reason. Giles was the perfect man to help her on her mission and to tame the wild angel. He was loving, kind, and caring and he and his angel worked very well together. The plot was interesting and I was forever on my toes, waiting to read what happened next. I recommend this book highly, and hope to read more books this good my Boyle. Happy Reading!

Easy to see why it's an award winner!:
I have a stack of books always waiting to be read...how I wish I'd read this one sooner! A great story, charming characters by an author who is definitely going places.

Don't Expect Too Much:
I love 'The Scarlet Pimpernel', so I bought this book thinking it would be just as romantic and exciting. Well, I was sorely disappointed. The characters lack depth and the story was rather thin. I would rate it as 'readable'.

A first-rate romance set in the tumultuous French Revolution:
Giles and Sophia are at odds from the start. With the French Revolution as a backdrop, Giles is certain the thieving Brazen Angel knows what happened to a fellow foreign service operative and Sophia is determined to get enough money to free her aristocratic family from prison. They lead each other a merry chase from England to France and back. Giles is unable to catch and unmask the beautiful Angel, and she is determined not to allow him to find out that under her disguises she is his betrothed. Follow them through the dangerous alleys of Paris as their ultimate goal becomes "discovering" each other. A delightful first book.
