A fun historical romance - though there's actually a little more mystery than romance. (I'm not complaining. It was an adventure to read!)

First of all, i have to say that i really thought _ after reading the first pages and being introduced to the "nannies _ that this book was going to be a disaster.
I was wrong.
It was worse.
An hero that although on his forty e two years old, "sounds" like he's twenty. His behaviour could be described as juvenile and i never saw anything that would correspond to the title of master spy. An heroine, Minerva, that has an unlikely _ and far-fetched _ secret. It just didn't work. I wasn't interessed in the story, i wasn't interessed in the two of them, and those "nannies"...arhg!!
I know this is suposed to be a light and fun reading, but it just got tiresome. That's the word i would use to describe this book. It wasn't funny at all, and i was counting the pages until it finally ended!!
This was the first book that i've read by Elizabeth Boyle, and after this, i dont know if i will try to read another one of this writer.

The epilogue is what sold me on this book. I thought it was an perfect end to the book. I've previously read [b:Confessions of a Little Black Gown|4645202|Confessions of a Little Black Gown (Bachelor Chronicles, #4)|Elizabeth Boyle|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255801674s/4645202.jpg|4695390] by the same author and one of the twin daughters of the hero of this one. I thoroughly enjoyed both books and I liked the author's notes in the back and the family tree in the front of the book. I'm looking forward to reading more of the authors books, especially her Bachelor Chornicles.
