Jo Beverley's "Seduction in Silk" - #13 (!) in the Malloren series

Seduction In Silk - Jo Beverley

An enjoyable read, although there is little conflict or angst in the story. A bit slow in the middle section, but picked up again when the hero and heroine go to London and do some investigation of the heroine's family. I thought the hero's counterspy work on behalf of the Marquess of Rothgar (the head of the Malloren family and a fabulous character in several of Jo Beverley's novels) could have had more space in the book ... But the descriptions of town and country life in the Georgian era are wonderful - such a refreshing difference from "historicals" that are really set in an alternate universe.
