Another of JQ's good-but-not-great novels. It's another early work, and, again, it shows. The characters are compelling enough, and Carolina is certainly a stitch, but this book distinctly lacks passion. There isn't a single truly satisfying smut scene, which, in a romance novel, is a pretty serious flaw. JQ for some reason feels compelled to draw the curtains just when things should be getting good. I do like the conceit of the hero working for the War Office, but it lacked follow-through; when you compare this to Lisa Kleypas's Bow Street Runners series, it pales in comparison and seems to lack some authenticity. Still, it's a nice bit of fluff, and a good way to spend an afternoon.

Girl fleeing evil guardian is mistaken as a spy, and held prisoner. Not much substance, but a bit of fun. I didn't really grow fond of either of the main characters, but I have high hopes for James, I hope he's the subject of the sequel. ( )

This book is completely adorable. Witty, charming, funny and well written, this book is the essence of Julia Quinn. While not as developed or well-written perhaps as her later books (the Bridgertons, for instance), it is a wonderful book with endearing characters and a fast-paced story. I especially like the part where Caroline foils Blake by coughing herself into losing her voice - and then can't write because Blake assumes she's left handed - very cutely done. This book is a charming and heartwarming read. ( )

Bokbeskrivning

Amazon.com (ISBN 0380789353, Mass Market Paperback)

Caroline Trent is fed up with her greedy guardian, Oliver Prewitt, and his nitwit son, Percy. With only six weeks to go until she can claim her inheritance and rid herself of them, Percy attempts to forcibly seduce her. Fortunately, Caroline has a pistol at hand and she uses it--wounding the annoying man just enough to allow her to escape. Fuming, she flees the dark manor house determined to find employment and hide from her guardian for six weeks. But a bad night turns worse when a tall, dark stranger accosts her. Blake Ravenscroft thinks Caroline is a female spy, part of Oliver Prewitt's smuggling activities that include spying for Napoleon. He kidnaps Caroline, ties her to a bed at his nearby home, and grills her unsuccessfully before a friend arrives and tells Blake that he's captured the wrong woman. Caroline explains her predicament and, given what he knows of the larcenous Oliver Prewitt, Blake has no option but to offer her shelter. Caroline isn't a woman accustomed to sitting in the parlor sipping tea, especially while Blake's investigation has him involved in far more exciting, life-threatening activities. Blake isn't a man accustomed to having a woman ignore his commands. Sparks fly and passion sizzles between these two characters while a cast of endearing characters provide well-meaning assistance. To Catch an Heiress is both warm and wonderful, with witty dialogue and endearing characters. --Lois Faye Dyer
