The BookViral Review: With a compelling and charismatic narrative, Lover, Lady, Smuggler, Spy quickly turns into a novel that will have its readers on the edge of their seats and eager to know what happens next. Another welcome addition to the Regency romance genre from Alicia Quigley, she circles down through the layers of an intrigue-laden plot, laced with timely moments of acuity which are sure to sweep you away. Fans of Quigley will know she effortlessly captures her period settings and it’s no different here. Masterfully making use of her backdrops without allowing them to overwhelm her characters and their story as she bewitches her readers with an exquisite blend of emotion and high adventure. Sensuous and intelligent, it’s a multifaceted story, but one where the relationship between the protagonists remains the focal point. For readers drawn to intriguing, multi-dimensional characters Quigley always brings a sense of power and intimacy to her romances and this has to be one of her best yet.
An exuberant novel that attains a subtle of level eroticism most period romances fail to achieve, Lover, Lady, Smuggler, Spy is a must read and a superb introduction to the words of Alicia Quigley. It is recommended without reservation.
