Profile:
"With proper manners and impeccable breeding, the beautiful Miss Alison Brooke should be the envy of London's 18th-century royal society. When villainy occurs, an unexpected hero comes to her aid. But rumors result, and Miss Brooke finds herself in the center of tawdry gossip.
Her rescuer, Robert Anderson, Viscount Charmaine, is preoccupied with troubled finances, an ill father, and defense of the Crown. Problematically, Charmaine's best friend, Marquis Anthony Farrington, is clandestinely helping fund the American Revolution.
Miss Brooke's large dowry tempts both men. Her father, however, wants his daughter to marry for love, not money. Without her father's permission for marriage, is Miss Broke ready to relinquish her privileged life for love?
In this realistic tale of historical fiction brimming with wealth and uncertain allegiances, society's obligations draw them together, along with Miss Brooke's constant companion, the timid Miss Brenda Boswell. When Charmaine discovers proof of Farrington's betrayal, he is forced to choose between friendship and patriotism.
Shots are fired, tears fall, and love conquers all in this remarkable historical romance."

Review:
"Caught" by Christina J. Michaels
My Thoughts....
This was definitely a read that will keep you attentive as you turn the pages of this dramatic romance of a historical setting of the Regency Georgian England society in 1772. We are presented with some protagonists who I would say are quite flawed but still likable in their own way, along with well developed 'aristocratic friends, families, each with different personalities, set of goals and yes with their problems, trials and tribulations.' The author really draws the reader in with the feeling of being transported into their lives with her characters at that particular time and place. I loved how this author was able to 'wove in the challenge of British politicians to deal with the threat of treason and anarchy for those who supported the impending uprising of the American colonists.' All of this indeed was able to present the reader with a colorful intriguing historical background of this story of "Caught."
In the end the reader is presented with a well told well written story that was indeed a fast-paced read that will keep you captivated turning the pages as we find the answers not only to love, romance but also to finances. This is definitely one of those reads that I would recommend one to check out!
