To Catch An Heiress: by the bestselling author of Bridgerton (Agents for the Crown) Paperback – 27 May 2021

I have read almost all of Julia Quinn's books except the Bridgerton series, and they are all really good. She's an excellent writer.

A very good read. Full of twists and turns! I look forward to reading more of Julia Quinn's books next

This was a great read, the storyline was brilliantly put together, very different from other books typical plots. You were always kept on your toes with new revelations and events occurring. However I still didn’t quite understand the relation between the marquis and the criminal, however it wasn’t about him!The first part of the book was brilliant, I was so antsy with the anticipation for the truth to come out thinking “oh my god how long is this going to go on!” So it really kept me on edge waiting for the pin to drop. My heart bled when broken hearts were healed and a loving relationship was developed. Both characters have such strong development throughout the story and I loved the HEA.

Love this story but read How to marry a Marquise first , Both books are great

I was disappointed in many aspects of this book. The characters were all likeable but all to often frustrating. The bickering between the H&h was protracted and irritating. I didn’t find the dialogue up to this writers usual standard there was a superficiality a silliness and immaturity. Too often unbelievable the humour was forced and silly. I had the feeling that this book wasn’t actually written by Julia Quinn. Certainly it wasn’t one of her best .

Caroline Trent is not having a good evening. Firstly her guardian's son, Percival, attacks her on his father's orders - for which she, quite rightly, shoots him in the shoulder. But no sooner has she escaped the house then she's accosted by a man who will insist on calling her Carlotta de Leon.However, for Caroline this turn of events couldn't be more fortuitous. With just six weeks to go until she comes into her inheritance, she's more than happy to let this stranger keep her out of sight. After all, the last thing she wants is for her guardian to determine her whereabouts.Yes, everything is going perfectly, until the Marquis of Riverdale arrives, takes one look at her and confirms that she is NOT Carlotta de Leon.For Blake Ravenscroft, Caroline's captor, this news is both relieving and infuriating. Having worked for the War Office for nearly a decade the prospect of failing is galling in the extreme, but nowhere near as bad as being attracted to a traitor.But Caroline is no traitor, just a young woman unconsciously tangled up by circumstance. Even so, Blake fights the attraction, because he's sworn never to marry...The plot of this book is really quite ludicrous, and the fact that Blake is supposed to be one of the War Office's top agents never quite rings true. However, who cares, because this book is hilarious. The exchanges between Caroline and Blake veer from childishly entertaining to laugh-out-loud funny, with poor James (the Marquis) either caught in the crossfire, or doing his best to wind Blake up even further. And then there are the servants. Brilliant.Too much of the plot remains hazy at best and unexplained (why Oliver is so desperate for Caroline's money, the traitor's plot and aftermath, etc), but to be honest it doesn't matter. Caroline is too amusing for such things to hold this book back.Let your sense of humour loose, sit back and enjoy! (Then get hold of 'How to Marry a Marquis' because James is back, and he's wonderful.)

The plot is a bit far fetched but Caroline is one of JQ's funniest heroines and my personal favourite. She is adorable. Blake, although not the usual "JQ" rake is just as witty as her other heroes, but much more moody because of his broken heart. Caroline too has had a tough life. They both deserve to be happy and make an excellent pairing. I also love James and can't wait to read the next book "How to Marry a Marquis" to read his story. Special mention to Perriwick the butler as well. I simply love him.

Julia Quinn has excelled herself in this book. The stiff upper lip of the English Male aristocracy meets with the wiles of a beautiful and delightfully deceptive woman. One of them will marry her but which one remains to be seen. So many other diversions along the way. Read on and enjoy as the pages turn beneath your fingertips.

Great book.Funny, intriguing, sad, romantic, clever, and well written.Absolutely brilliant characters.I’m a huge fan of Julia Quinn. All of her books are exceptional.

Excellent - as are all of Julia Quinn's novels

Was für eine witzige, spannende Liebesgeschichte. Mit einer starken, klugen Heldin und einem Helden der sich von Ihr verzaubern läßt. Umbedingt empfohlen zu lesen. Schade, dass es keine deutsche Übersetzung gibt.

Charlotte Trent is an orphan with a considerable fortune. Since the age of 10 she has been passed from pillow to post to a number of relative guardians over a ten year period. The last being Oliver Prewitt who had been squandering her inheritance since she came to him. Coming up to her 21st birthday, he gets his son to try and rape her so she will have to marry him. She escapes and heads for Portsmouth on foot. She is taken by Blake Ravenscroft, a War Office spy who believes her to be Carlotta De Leon. He takes her to his manor and ties her in room to a bed post. Caroline plays along as she is at least in some sort of safety as she waits the 5 weeks to her birthday. After a couple days Bale's friend James to Marquis of Riverdale, a fellow spy arrives and advises Blake Caroline is not Carlotta. Caroline is forced to come clean and both Blake and James agree to keep her safe from her uncle. They are also keen to gather information on her uncle who is believed to be a traitor and smuggler. She stays in the house for a week or so when Blake's sister married to a Duke turns up tells Blake and James that one of them must marry Caroline. Blake is having feelings for Caroline and can't bear to see her marry someone else. They marry and a few weeks later the plan to capture the uncle takes place. The boys are off to place the trap leaving Caroline at home, but her uncle turns up and captures her. He seems to be aware of the plot and takes her to the coast where Blake and James are. A fight ensues and Oliver is killed with another plotter, Carlotta De Leon captured and Caroline rescued.

I never get bored reading Julia Quinn's stories. I come from Italy and the pack arrived in perfect time and in perfect status. I am completely happy with the purchase
