The third in the Pink Carnation romance/adventure series. Eloise is still on her hunt for the identity of the Pink Carnation and her relationship with Colin Selwick is decidedly going nowhere. She has uncovered quite a tangled history with her Carnation and the notorious Black Tulip. But now Eloise isn't sure where to turn for the next chapter in her thesis. By chance she types a name into the library computer and comes up with a new lead. Will this be the answer Eloise is looking for?
Letty Alsworthy tries to prevent her older sister from eloping and ruining the reputation of her family. Unfortunately the plan goes awry and she ends up marrying her sister's intended and being abandoned all within a few days. Letty isn't one to take this sitting down and she decides to follow her husband and set him straight on a few things. Little does she know this journey will turn into a trip of a lifetime.
Willig still has quite a bit of fun in store for us with secret identities, historical Irish rebellions, and the Pink Carnation teaching Letty the ways to a husband's heart. What a joyful and laugh out loud romp through Georgian Ireland. There are still the usual plot points stretched a bit thin but Willig has excellent author notes telling the reader what was and wasn't changed historically. Still a fun recommendation.
