Book Description
Lady Samantha Barrett is determined to find the man of her dreams. Of course, he must be devastatingly handsome and just a bit dangerous. Now, her coach is filled with a collection of gothic novels and her head with romantic notions as she eagerly leaves her brother's country estate for her first London Season. Still unsophisticated and too innocent by far, Samantha is ill-prepared for the hypocrisy of the town or for the formidable stranger who crosses her path -- a stranger she is sure must be her long-awaited hero...
Remington Worth, the Earl of Gresham, is reputed to be anything but a hero. He is, however, intrigued by the fresh, young Lady Samantha. At sea, Remington had been a brilliant captain. To help save his country, he has become the Crown's most deadly and dedicated covert agent, posing as a notorious womanizer and blackmailer. His latest orders are to investigate the mysterious disappearances of England's prized merchant vessels. He will allow no one to get in his way or touch his heart -- until Samantha. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Don't Bother....this taking the word "naive" too far...,
By
This review is from: Samantha (Mass Market Paperback)
I simply adored Anrea Kane's other books but this book just did not do anything for me. For one, the heroine, Samantha was just a tad too naive and innocent. She based everything on her gothic books. Practically everything about her annoyed me and the circumstances around her. How could her brother, Drake, just let her come out on her first season with a senile, half deaf aunt and a male servant? Doesn't that strike you odd when the book insists that he's very protective of his family? A contradiction I say. How about how Samantha doesn't think of her self worth and just goes head long with her decidely unimanginable romance with Remington? All the circumstances that they've been together screams scandal! nobody noticed this? oh sure supposedly her "charm" melted the socks right off her substitute chaperone, Smitty...as far as i could see her charm landed flat..if any of them really really did care, they wouldn't have let her take the risk. Samantha kept saying she loved him and thats the reason she's going all out and not thinking of the scandal she could cause. How come her brother seems blissfully unaware of his sister's activities? Doesn't he receive any reports? oh sure he learns by the end but it WAS KINDA TOO LATE BY THIS TIME. Then how 'bout Samantha learning about Rem thinking that it might have been her brother doing all the conspiracy? she didn't even work up a good rage..all she said was instead of "Remington Worh" it should have been "Remington WorthLESS" WOW i could certainly feel the sting there...jeez i cant even go on anymore coz I stopped right there..at that lame insult she gave him...simply unbelievable

My Favorite Andrea Kane Book!,
By
This review is from: Samantha (Mass Market Paperback)
This was my first Andrea Kane book and I fell in love. This is the story of Samantha whom you met briefly in "My Hearts Desire". She is Drakes little sister and she is all grown up now. Young and idealistic she is setting out for London and she is planning on meeting a knight in shining armor. One that she can call her own. Samantha is a romantic at heart and sees the good in everyone. She loves romance books and sees Remington as the answer to her dreams.Remington comes to Samantha's rescue on a rainy night and offers her his carriage so she can continue on her trip to London. This act is seen as the act of a hero for Samantha and she is set on making Remington see that he needs her. Much to her brothers dismay. Full of laughs, romance, and of course suspense you won't be let down by this one.

I Loved it,
By Erica "encbks" (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samantha (Mass Market Paperback)
I love a story where the heroine knows what she wants and the hero just falls, because love is the ultimate defeat. I thought Andrea Kane gave me a good story with adventure love and a good secondary cast I thought it was great Samantha takes charge knows what she wants and "fear is not an option" the villian was obvious but for all the right reason you need a reason not to like the villian and of course anyone who tries to break up the perfect couple is evil. the hero, a spy and protector of the innocent and loyal to his friends is one you want to hold you at night, and believe me he gave Samantha a night to remember. This love story was exquisit.
