When finding a husband is the mission.
Katherine Collins is on a mission. With no means and few prospects, the spirited spinster is financially beholden to her stepsister Constance, who stands to inherit a large fortune–if she marries in the next six weeks. What better than to present Constance with the perfect husband, Alexander Wescott, Lord Borin? After all, Katherine has been spying on the … Katherine has been spying on the handsome, wealthy viscount, just to make sure he’s the man she hopes.
Alex cannot understand why he’s under surveillance, but it seems to have something to do with the intriguing Katherine. Rejected for service by England’s spymaster and encouraged to set up his nursery instead, he ought to be searching for a wife. But what wife can compare to the excitement of international espionage? Unless, of course, she’s up for a little espionage herself.

Fast paced book. Glad that it turned out the way it did.
It was a fun story.
Fun read, although I don’t see what the heroine saw in the hero.
This is another great read
My first book by this author. On completing this i promptly searched kindle unlimited to read more by her.
So cute!
Definitely some laugh out loud moments!
It just goes to show that not only the brightest stars stand out. There is beauty where no one is looking.
Nice plot runs – just enough character descriptions to allow for personal preferences add-ons.
I was thoroughly entertained with these characters.
Liked the characters of this book, and the unselfishness shown by the heroine
Great characters and good historical references.
light reading
Plot and characters not developed enough.
I love the Regency romance novels and this one fit the bill perfectly.
Kind of silly characters…
Somewhat reminiscent of The Perfect Fiancé, in that the heroine seeks to matchmake a man, who is then attracted to the matchmaker. In this case, there is much more subterfuge by Katherine, wherein she first investigates the man to make sure he is good enough for her stepsister.
This is not meant to be a serious story. While her stepfather had been very fond of Katherine, neither she nor her younger brother were left a bequest to help them in their future, thus their dependency on their stepsister. Constance is a naive character, holding out for love; her father had tried to help her along by stipulating she had to be married to inherit.
I found the complicity of the servants in Katherine’s scheme to protect her uncle from doing something stupid and their help in her investigation amusing. Then there is her stepfather’s greedy heir complicating the mission the reader will love to hate. Overall this is well-written and an easy read.
