Felicity is practically on the shelf, and her lack of fortune will keep her there. She receives an invitation from an aunt, and her family thinks it's a good idea. The aunt seems to have a suitor in mind for Felicity, one who doesn't care about her lack of wealth. Once she arrives, there's a lot more men than women, and she soon finds out why: they're planning a revolution. And she's just engaged herself to one of them.
Philip has managed to infiltrate the group, but he didn't plan on having to look after Felicity. He reveals himself to her, hoping that she'll make decisions to keep herself safe, but Felicity wants to do more. She wants to help. He could use her assistance, but he's afraid for her safety. They end up skirting danger a few times, and there's always the risk of being exposed.
I wasn't 100% convinced after I read about Felicity fainting the first time. I'm not a fan of the "wilting violet" heroines, but I loved this book! Felicity fights against the faints, and her determination to be strong and courageous in spite of them had me convinced. I loved the way she was a quick thinker and got herself out of so many scrapes on her own. I also liked Philip's character, the way he balanced the weight of his mission against his feelings for Felicity. All in all, Good Book!
