"I have become ABSOLUTELY addicted to these historical fiction/romance spy novels. I really enjoyed this book - full of fun, laughter and intrigue. I am planning to pick up another book from the series from the library today.A very relaxing read if that is what you are looking for. "
— Hooma (4 out of 5 stars)
" ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF ALL TIME "
— Makenna, 2/19/2014" I enjoyed the story until a graphic sex scene about 3/4 way through--overwhelmingly gross--wish I had read the reviews more thoroughly before I tried this one. skipped that and glanced at end to get my "happily ever after" but I wont do this author again. "
— Ann, 2/13/2014" A fun read, but not as tight as the first two. "
— Shannon, 2/9/2014" I think I liked this one's plucky heroine better than the plucky heroine in the Black Tulip. The plots are getting rather familiar, but there are enough twists to keep the stories exciting. I'll continue the series quite happily! "
— Carah, 2/9/2014" All the feelings??? I wish there were more sex in these books though. Man, I am not reading these for the spy stuff, okay??? "
— Alex, 1/17/2014" 3rd book in the Carnation series. I liked this one & really loved getting to see Jane help out those around her while thwarting the French and Irish. (Again another scene you might want to skip.) "
— Mary, 1/11/2014" Yeah!!! Back on track. More exciting than the second. Can't wait to read number 4. "
— Jill, 1/3/2014" I love these books. I think they're slightly formulaic, but I can't help getting wrapped up in the characters and their adventures. Ms. Willig writes in a way that's practical and relatable but still engaging and witty. I enjoy them very much. Going to keep reading, that's for sure! :) "
— Julia, 12/28/2013" Enjoyed the historic mystery very much. Great escape. "
— Sharon, 10/8/2013" These books left me thinking about the characters long after i finished reading. "
— Tryniti, 7/10/2013" I really liked this book, in fact the hero in this one was my favorite, probably because I like quiet, introspective men. The heroine was sweet and gutsy and their love story was believable and interesting. As with all of the series, it was really fun to spend time in this world. "
— Rachel, 6/2/2013" Didn't hold my attention as well as the others in the series. Still good as a break from "serious" reading. "
— Liz, 12/31/2012" Mere pages in and already a "Princess Bride" reference! Love it! "
— Marissa, 12/26/2012" Again -- Lauren WiIlig scores a hit that proves that sassy reparte between the sexes is not confined to any one century! "
— Joann, 11/11/2012" Enjoyed this book as the others in the series. Like developing story of modern characters which is quite amusing as well as the adventuresome romps of the historic story-line. "
— Lauren, 10/5/2012" a little bit slower than the other books, but still enjoyable! "
— Mindy, 8/11/2012" What would happen if an honorable man finds out he has eloped with the wrong woman? A great take on the love story, more spy intrigue and witty dialogue. "
— Emma, 1/16/2012" Another great entry to the series. "
— Maggie, 10/24/2011" Still like the story in a story and I am not put out when it switches since I have been hooked by each one! Skip pages 307-312 and you'll be good to go! "
— Cary, 10/21/2011" I really enjoy the that Lauren tells Eloise's story along side the main characters. "
— Candy, 7/17/2011" Patience has paid off! In this third book of the series, Ms. Willig hits the mark--just the right blend of derring-do and romance as yet another member of the Pink Carnation league finds love. "
— Patty, 6/23/2011" This is my favorite book in the carnation series. "
— Sharon, 6/13/2011" Audio Book. Very interesting with spies from the 1800s. The Purple Gention, Pink Carnation, and Black Tulip. Harvard Ph.D. candidate Eloise Kelly continues her research of early 19th-century spies in the smart third book of the Pink Carnation series, f "
— Jake, 5/6/2011" The third book in the Pink Carnation series is true to form. Eloise's modern-day story is interwoven with the tale of Letty and Geoff and there is plenty of action and romance to go around! "
— Marissa, 5/2/2011" Think I enjoyed this one more than Black Tulip, although (like many others) I found the Eloise chapters a bit intrusive and dull when compared to the rest of the storyline. "
— Gricel, 4/25/2011" By Book #3, her plots became very formulaic and derivative. The first book in the series was the best and after that they become the same plot, just with different character names. "
— Jill, 4/5/2011" great read! i like that these sequals are picking up right after each other. i'm anxious about Eloise and Colin!! on to the 4th... "
— Stephanie, 4/5/2011" This was my favorite of the series so far. I fell in love with Letty and Geoff in a way that I didn't with the the others in the previous two books. "
— Amy, 3/8/2011" Geoff was my favorite guy out of all the guys in the series. "
— Sudeshna, 3/7/2011" trash. but geeky trash ;p "
— Ann, 3/5/2011" Enjoyed this book more than the Pink Carnation book......read this out of sequence, but will begin the 2nd in the series today... "
