I love regency romances with intrigue (usually they are spies or work for the war department, etc) but this one is a little different. The women belong to a "Garden Society" headed by a strong woman who worked with her late husband while he was at the war department. This is the second book in the Garden Society series and can be read as a stand alone. In the first book in this series Simon is portrayed as a rake with not a care in the world but as we learn in this book he is highly intelligent. Rose is also highly intelligent and shy but can become animated with the right conversation. They have been betrothed since childhood and want nothing to do with each other but as luck would have it they team up to solve a mystery and of course love follows. Their antics are quite humorous at times. Some of the scenes are very sweet and the end of the book had me tearing up with joy. I am looking forward to the next in this series.
