Title: R rated Scarlet Pimpernel wannabe
Review: Alas, what begins as a light fun read deteriorates to farce.The author tried to weave a modern search for a historical swashbuckler in with the period action. The current day tale is quite unnecessary and gets lost. As for the swashbuckling portion of the story, the French officials are the only ones who seem unable to determine who the cloaked figure is. He's busy saving England from the French, while groping Our Heroine. The author spends far too much time (and written detail) on the groping and panting, swollen this and that, bulging other. As for Our Heroine, the author cannot decide whether she is cunning enough to overthrow the French plot against England, or cunny enough to lure half the men in the story.An ok summertime beach read, but Scarlet Pimpernel is a much better read.
