Jo Beverley, author of TOO DANGEROUS FOR A LADY, is a master at weaving tales full of danger, adventure and romance. Hermione is a clever and strong-minded young woman with a positive outlook. She's as sure she can turn Thayne to a legal career as she is that she can save her uncle from a debilitating foreign illness. A chance encounter leads her to her late brother's friends, the Company of Rogues, and with their help, it seems nothing is impossible.

This is a fast-paced novel with both of Hermione's missions presenting twists and turns that will keep you turning pages. It's never so quick that it doesn't take time for some very human moments; the scenes between Hermione and her ailing uncle are particularly poignant.

TOO DANGEROUS FOR A LADY is part of Beverley's ever-growing Rogues series, but it can stand on its own as long as you can handle a large secondary cast without difficulty. If you're already a fan of the series, you'll enjoy this new addition. I recommend it for readers who like their historical romance with a dose of mystery and a dash of 19th century science.
