So, yes, I know how it all ends, but I was still very curious about how it all began and it has been several years so I was pretty sure it would be almost new to me. In an odd twist, I’ve already read three books from the series and two happen to be the last two while the other was somewhere in the middle. I eagerly took up this first book in the Pink Carnation series, having already been a fan of the author’s light and engaging writing. In the spirit of The Scarlet Pimpernel and Pride & Prejudice comes a series to tantalize historical romantic suspense fans. In a time of revolution and then war, daring-do was called for and sometimes the heroes and heroines had to wear a mask to accomplish what was needed. As she does, she discovers something for the history books-a living, breathing hero all her very own. Her first stop: England, to finish her dissertation on the English spies of the Napoleonic Wars, like the Scarlet Pimpernel and the Purple Gentian.īut her greatest conquest is to reveal the most elusive spy of them all, the dashing Pink Carnation. Realizing romantic heroes are a thing of the past, graduate student Eloise Kelly is determined to focus on her work.
