Mariah never thought to find her true love in the shadows of the ton's social event of the season. The mysterious man fascinates her in a way she never thought possible.
Harry Sinclair is a top field operative for the British government and his latest assignment brings him undercover to the ball where he meets Mariah. Very soon his desire for her clashes with his sense of duty. While Harry tries to follow through with his investigation, Mariah starts her own investigation because she wants to find out who her midnight lover is. Suddenly they are in the middle of a political intrigue that threatens not only their blossoming relationship but also their very lives.

I am normally not so much a fan of Spy novels, but because I am a huge Caroline Linden fan I picked up this book and I wasn’t disappointed. The book is an exciting combination of Regency romance and Romantic suspense with two interesting protagonists. Mariah is not the typical Regency heroine, because although she is the diamond of the first water and the catch of the season she isn’t the woman you might expect, but she is curious and quite brave. Harry undergoes quite a conscious conflict during the story, because normally his duty comes first and now he is distracted by Mariah.

A VIEW TO KISS is not only a book for all Caroline Linden fans but also something for those who want to try out her works.
