Review: Unrealistic foe the time period

This is a really cute and entertaining story IF you can overlook the fact that it is completely unbelievable and unrealistic for the time period. I'm not a huge fan of historical romance so it was only slightly annoying rather than completely ruining the book for me. The heroine was an agent for the Home Office, and while they probably did use women as agents, I'm sure it would be more as a spy under the cover of a maid or governess, or even a singer or actress. It's completely unrealistic to put her in the role of investigator. She wouldn't have been acknowledged in that position and the only reason the story worked at all is because Arther was with her. She didn't plan for him to come alng though, so I don't quite know how she planned to complete her mission. So yes, in order to enjoy this book, you have to ignore reality. As a fan of paranormal romance, that wasn't hard for me to do. Other than that, it was a bit predictable with who the villain turned out to be, although there was a twist when the heroine's past with the criminal came out. One of the things I like about this series is the siblings interactions and we didn't get to see them until almost the end, so that was a bit of a disappointment as well. But over all, it wasn't really good or bad, just okay and a decent read.
