Ilustration In Favor Of Books To Catch an Heiress (Agents of the Crown #1)
When Caroline Trent is kidnapped by Blake Ravenscroft, she doesn’t even try to elude this dangerously handsome agent of the crown. After all, she’s been running from unwanted marriage proposals. Yes, Blake believes she’s a notorious spy named Carlotta De Leon, but for six weeks until her twenty-first birthday, when she’ll gain control of her own fortune, hiding out in the titillating company of a mysterious captor is awfully convenient—and maybe just a little romantic, too.Blake Ravenscroft’s mission is to bring “Carlotta” to justice, not to fall in love. His heart has been hardened by years of intrigue, but this little temptress proves oddly disarming and thoroughly kissable. And suddenly the unthinkable becomes possible—that this mismatched couple might be destined for love.

My first try at this author. If this is typical of her writing I don't think she's going to be for me. It was mildly amusing in spots, but it was kind of 'regency lite' which is just not the type of book I prefer. Light on plot and no sense of realism at all. No sense of the time period. For example it was just goofy and unrealistic that the servants wouldn't feed the hero and his sister just because they liked the heroine better and she was hiding out in his bathroom. Don't ask it didn't reallyMy least favorite JQ book. I love her writing style, she always wins me with words but I felt a huge disconnect between the H and h. He acts like he doesn't even like her. I'm not sure why this one didn't work for me. Give it a go... just because it didn't work for me it doesn't mean it won't for you!
Caroline Trent is an orphan. Having had a string of lecherous guardians, when the current one orders his son to rape her to gain her inheritance, she runs from their house only to bump straight into Blake.Blake is an agent of the crown and a royalty, and believes the female running from house is the spy Carlotta.He kidnaps her and what ensues is a series of hilarious events and a chase for the spy and some illegal activities.There are things I loved about this book- the chapter names- Caroline's
After a great number of horrible guardians, each worse than the last one, and after a rape attempt, Caroline decides she has had enough and runs away. An agent of the crown has been watching her guardian's house and catches her thinking she is a notorious spy. The beginning is promising, but it goes downhill fast. I didn't connect with the characters at all. I usually love Julia Quinn's books. This didn't do much for me. The tone of the book isn't very well balanced considering that on the one
Ok, the humour wore on me after a while. Complete story.
Rating: 3.5 stars I can't remember the last time I stayed up the whole night to finish a book; but even knowing I had to get up at seven the next day and only opening the first page close to midnight, I just couldn't get myself to put this book down. To Catch an Heiress follows Caroline, an heiress to a fortune, that she can claim only in 6 week's time, when she turns twenty-one. Caroline runs away when her guardian's son tries to assault her to force her hand in marriage and lay claim to her
