Publisher Description

A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today best-selling author, Mary Jo Putney has won two RITAs and two Romantic Times Career Achievement Awards. In No Longer a Gentleman, the gentleman in question, Grey Sommers, is conducting a bit of light espionage in France when a dalliance with a government official's wife gets him thrown into a dungeon. Enter beguiling spy Cassie Fox, sent to free the suffering lord-and perhaps to liberate his heart.

"In the last book of the Lost Lords quartet, the missing lord, Greydon Sommers, Lord Wyndham, was located and rescued from the private dungeon he had been locked in for the last 10 years. He would have gone mad if not for a fellow prisoner, a Catholic priest, who kept him sane by educating him and singing with him. But in those 10 years, he saw no other person. His rescuer was Cassie Reynard, sent by Kirkland. The rescue was easy. The recovery was not. You don't just leave solitary confinement without a few mental issues and Grey's were about crowds and temper. Cassie helped with both. This was equally Cassie's story. Although Cassie's family, half French, had all been killed during the revolution, she had escaped with the help of a nursemaid and though a child of wealth, was remade into a peasant of no consequence. She can't help Grey regain his place in society without accepting her own which she had been loathe to do. It turns out to be easier than expected. And more loving. Many things about this book were too easy. But the characters were so right for each other that it was easy to over that."

    " Charming historical romance by a reliable author. I enjoy related books with known characters and their friends, a nice alternative to sequential series. "

    " Cassie Fox, half French & half English, lost her family to the Terror. To defeat Napoleon, she becomes a spy. As one of her missions, she rescues Lord Wyndham, imprisoned for over 10 years. Cassie rescues Grey physically and emotionally. Balanced, competent characters in a well realized historical setting. A keeper. HEA. "

    " Mary Jo Putney is an excellent tale spinner. No Longer a Gentleman is not only a rousing adventure with a strong, brave and intelligent heroine (shero?)but it gives a powerful account of the psychological results of solitary confinement on a prisoner. Mostly, though, this is a fun romp of spies, subterfuge, and sexual attraction in Napoleon's France as (insert names when I find the book)rescues (name) and smuggles him back to England only to find more plots and mysteries to be solved before true love can triumph.

    " Entertaining enough for this genre. Newish plot twist and some action/adventure keeps this steamy regency interesting. "

    " This romance suffered in comparison to Meredith Duran and Joanna Bourne's rich, thrilling stories. Bourne's spy masters definitely trump Cassie, and for romance between troubled individuals, Duran did it better. Still, the moment when Grey hugs Cassie was lovely, and I was happy for them in the end. "

    " I feel like damaged characters like Cassie and Grey would have a much harder adjustment to society. It's also a bit creepy that he loves her so much - I wonder if he's mixing up his gratitude at being rescued with his idea of love. "

    " Very enjoyable. So many books from this era contain virginal blushing brides. Not that I have anything against them. But it's nice to have had characters who've had a life before they have loved. "

    " Better than the Last Lost Lords book, a good story. Serious editorial lapses. When did London develop a skyline(?)and what church dominates it? Saint Peter's(?) I kid you not. What skyscraper did the editor fall out of? "
