About this ebook

Soldiers, strangers, and spies—love is a dangerous game in this collection of four Regency romances by a USA Today–bestselling author!
  In Dangerous Illusions, Lady Daintry Tarrant is dismayed when a war hero returns, introducing himself as her fiancé, Lord Penthorpe. She cherishes her independence and has turned away many suitors, but this one she must marry. Penthorpe is completely captivated by Lady Daintry—but he’s not who he claims to be.
In Dangerous Games, Melissa Seacourt’s father auctions her off to pay his gambling debts, but she vows that she will be no man’s bought bride. Desperate to escape her fate shackled to someone she could never love, Melissa instead is forced to honor and obey the seductive stranger who comes to her rescue.

In Dangerous Angels, Charlotte Tarrant is traveling across Cornwall in her luxurious coach when a shots ring out and her carriage goes over a cliff’s edge. As she clings to the rocks, a savior appears. When they meet again, Charley recognizes him instantly. But she doesn’t yet realize that the stranger who saved her life—the handsome aristocrat who now vies for her hand in marriage—is England’s most notorious spy.

In Dangerous Lady, Lady Letitia Deverill comes to London to serve as maid of honor to the young Queen Victoria. An impassioned Tory in a sea of Whigs, Letty has no intention of changing her political views. The headstrong noblewoman soon discovers she has enemies at court, and none more formidable than the powerful—and irresistible—Viscount Justin Raventhorpe.

    By: Amanda ScottPublished By: PinnacleAge Recommended: AdultReviewed By: Arlena DeanRating: 4Book Blog For: GMTASeries: Dangerous #1Review"Dangerous Illusions" by Amanda Scott was a good historical romance that involved 'women's rights or the lack thereof.' During this period in history this author 'speaks clearly to the lack of rights women had.' In this novel we are dealing with the lives of Lord Gideon Deverill and Lady Daintry Tarrant who if they had did as their families wanted would have never met 'due to a long standing family feud. This will definitely start trouble up between these two families. Now, I will say you must pick up "Dangerous Illusions" to see what all the fuss is about. Just what was this feud about? The characters for the most part were difference in that most of the men seemed to be simply mean...but not Gideon and Aunt Ophelia was very colorful. You will pick this up from the read what I am referring to. Be ready for many twist and surprises that will keep up turning the pages. The laws that applied to 'husbands and wives' left me saying What? What power the men had over the women only left me say OMG! This was definitely a challenging time at this period of time. This left me thinking ... well, I will just recommend this read to you ....for you to decide.

    At first glance this book gives you the impression of a romance novel - a young well-bred woman who is promised in marriage without her consent, a friend posing as the consort after he is killed in battle, and an unlikely romance. All this set on the back drop of the aftermath of the battle of Waterloo and society in the 1800's. The social mores of the time and the position of women and their lack of rights can be challenging at times. The characters are well thought out and the story is worthy. I enjoyed this powerful tale.
