bestselling author Jane Feather has won legions of fans and critical
accolades for her sweeping romances portraying a unique blend of
sizzling seduction and dangerous intrigue. In this first of two romances
featuring two unconventional sisters whose quest to solve the mystery
surrounding their lives puts each of them in the path of a dangerously
irresistible hero, Jane Feather tells the story of a daring young widow
and a master spy engaged in a duel of wits--and seduction--to uncover a
dark secret....
To Kiss a Spy
Lady Pen Bryantson had been caught red-handed looking for clues among her mother-in-law’s papers. But the mystery she sought to uncover only deepened with the sudden appearance of a man whose mere presence sent shivers of excitement coursing through her. What could this dangerously seductive man who moved with a courtier’s charm and brandished an assassin’s skill want with someone as ordinary as she was?
But to Owen D’Arcy, the bewitching young woman he’d been assigned to ensnare was anything but ordinary. With a single kiss, the sophisticated spy found that he’d been unexpectedly disarmed. Determined to seduce her on his own terms, Owen offered Pen a devil’s bargain she had no choice but to accept. Now they would both go undercover, only to find themselves drawn into a world of deception and double cross, where anyone could be the deadliest of enemies--and their own uncontrolled passion the most dangerous threat of all.

It took me a long time to get into this book, To me it didn't get interesting until near the end.
Pen is very head-strong and determined, determined to find a child everyone believed was stillborn.
She lives the court life just going day to day until she meets Owen. Owen is a spy, sent to cozy up to Pen and get info.
I did like how the author kept to the historical facts with this story. That was fascinating, and then adding in the fictional storyline.
I just felt like a lot of the book was drug out, some of the minor things could have been omitted. And I did not need to know every time someone ate and what they were eating. And since the sex scenes were minimum and with absolutely little detail they could probably have been omitted as well.
There are 2 more books in this series; but at this moment, I am not the least bit interested in reading them.
