It was better than I had hoped.
I am always wary when it comes to re-uniting estranged husbands and wives. This was good Sebastien was both reasonable and deliciously possessive of his wife.
Eleanor is a little annoying; on the one hand she got out and did things when her husband deserted her for 6 years on the other hand as ridiculously demanding as Sebastien was over her Masquer-ing, but he was right about the danger. On the other hand she chose to become a spy not champion charit More...

Hunter crafts a tale full of suspense with “A Wicked Lord at the Wedding.” Baroness Eleanor Boscastle has spent three lonely years without her husband, Sebastien, while he works for British intelligence during the Napoleonic wars. To occupy her time, she’s befriended the Duchess of Wellington. The duchess’s husband has supposedly sent several sensitive letters to a few of London’s high society, and Eleanor adopts the identity of the Mayfair Masquer to get the letters back to the duchess.

Didn't like it, and couldn't finish-- I don't think this one even made it through my usual 60-page trial. I felt like the author had written the beginning of the book, decided she didn't like it, and cut out the first 100 pages or so to drop the reader somewhere in the middle, instead. The setup and action were confusing (trying to be clever, I think, and failing), and the flashback to how the couple's relationship started only made me wish the author HAD started there and then actually shown

Sebastien Bocastle has been married to Eleanor Prescott for six years, but he hasn't really been home for most of it. His work for the English army has kept him from home. But Eleanor hasn't been sitting at home quietly. Instead, she's been helping the Duchess of Wellington steal back some letters that incriminate the duchess' husband. Now Sebastien's back and trying to beat his wife at her own game.

Very confusing first chapter. A friend picked up the book and skimmed the first chapter and couldn't make heads or tails of it. I've been expecting more Boscastle books but not one about Sebastian, who I don't remember ever being mentioned. Once past that first chapter, it was a fun, sensual read, complete with appearances by Gabriel (who I expect a book to be written about) and some of the London branch of the family. Interesting to see a story about an already married couple falling back in lo

I really looked forward to learning more about Sebastian, and why he avoided his Boscastle cousins and brothers, but I was so disappointed in how this story was carried out. First: the younger Sebastian respected Eleanor and what she was able to do in wartime, but the present-day Sebastian appeared to feel that Elle, as a woman, did not have the ability to do what she had already been successfully doing - yes, part of that was his desire to protect her, but the stronger message was that this tas

I liked the concept, which was what intrigued me enough to buy the book in the first place. But I just couldn't get myself lost in the story with this one. I felt that I was being told how the couple were feeling rather than experiencing it for myself. Too much of the action seemed to be glossed over for me. I feel that all of the characters have so much potential, but something in the descriptions or in the actions was missing for me.

This book was left me with mixed feelings. At times I loved it, I laughed a lot; at times it made me want to toss away from the window. The characters were good, but the plot was so confusing. For the first 50 pages I didn't even understand what was happening. But I loved how their relationship got normal. It was not a great book, but it was not bad either.

Another of the Boscastle books. More cousins showing up!! A little different story. The main character, Sebastien, has post tramatic stress disorder from war and has a very difficult time returning from war. Eleanor has moved on without him even tho they are married... And then he returns wooing

Well! This is the first Jillian Hunter book that I was not in love with the characters.....took me much longer to read this book due to lack of interest....didn't like the story line...and Sebastian was just not the typical Bostcastle!!!!! I so loved the other Bostcastles!!!!
So sorry, but only a two star for me.

Plot too thin, too much bodice busting, and action begins too far along in media res. If the pacing had been different i probably would have enjoyed it, but instead i got bored.

Too much backstory, too much telling instead of showing, bits of unoriginal plot spliced together with overly-long sex scenes.

Boring. That's my one-word review. I really had to force myself to finish this one.

I only gave it 3 stars because it wasn't the best in the series nor was it one that I would want to read again. I liked it but I liked the others MUCH more. Sooo.... Hopefully the next book is better.

I tried to read this, got about a third of the way through and just couldn't take it anymore - the hero is a JERK. I kept reading, hoping for redeeming qualities, but he's just a jerk. I want his wife to just kick him out, but since it's a romance, I know they are going to kiss and make up.

Did really have a good story flow. Took me four days to read b/c it couldn't hold my interest. But love her earlier Bocastle series

Weaker than the other books in this series, although I enjoyed this, it didn't grab me in the same way.
