The Masque of the Black Tulip Audiobook

" This is the second in Willig's flower series. Luckily this time the protagonists left the spying to the professionals and focused on what they're good at: getting it on. I liked this one a lot better. "

" Another stonking romp- highly entertaining and not in the least bit taxing on the brain! "

" This is the second in Willig's series taking off on the Scarlet Pimpernel. I read it on two plane rides - and it was just the perfect thing to have on a journey like that! Light, clever, undemanding - the best a plane read could offer. "

" As fun as the first in the series. Actually laughed out loud! Cute series. "

" Loved it but warning to some... some sexual content. "

" I found that I enjoyed this book less than the debut novel by this author. There was a little less sense of history, it was more just a setting for her story within a story romance. I often wished that her female protagonists weren't quite so ditzy all the time as the author seems to make the point that they are well educated and capable (until these skills are called upon). I will give the next book of the series a try "

" I think these are so fun to read and just educational enough to keep you from joining chick-lit anonymous. "

" As much as I shouldn't love this series I do. It's completely frivolous reading, but a lot of fun. And thankfully I do learn at least a little history from it. "

" Not quite as good as the first in the series, but still enjoyable. I do love a good friends to lovers trope! "

" I like this series... sometimes it can be a bit tedious.. I liked the first one MUCH better but I'm going to keep reading the series. "

" I love the crossing of historical fiction with romance and with the modern day frame story. I was pleased with how everything wrapped up in this book, until right at the end - mostly because it left a few items as cliffhangers and I don't yet have the next book to read! "

" Read 2009. Reread 2013. One of the weaker books in the series for my taste. "

" Second in the Pink Carnation series, which follows in the footsteps of the Scarlet Pimpernel, although the women are still taking the lead in this spy series. "

" A pretty entertaining sequel - as with the original, the story is way better than the writing, but still a fun read. "

" Enjoyed it, but not as much as the first one. Still is a great story and am looking forward to the next. "

" I laughed a lot. I found both Miles and Henrietta to be relate-able characters. Though about 2/3 of the way through the book I found it dragging and then raced pell mell to the finish. "

" This series is one of my guilty little escapist pleasures (despite the inclusion of a rather graphic gratuitous and in my opinion unnecessary sex scene -- there's one in every book except The Mischief of The Mistletoe)and this book did not disappoint! Loved it! "

" Would give this 2 and a half if I could. "

" This is probably my favorite book, so far, in this series. I enjoyed the growing intrigue between Eloise and Colin, and I greatly enjoyed Henrietta and Miles' story. I liked that the story still stayed true to the "Pink Carnation" characters. "

" i LOVE Hen and Miles, my favorite couple so far and hope to see more of them in the sequals! "

" The tale continues with siblings! "

" I think I might have enjoyed the first book a little better, however this second book in the series was still fun and enjoyable to read. I'm hoping the series continues to stay that way. "

" A very fun, historical-mystery novel. I loved it! "

" The sequel to <em>The Secret History of the Pink Carnation</em> focuses in on Henrietta. She gets her turn at adventure by pursuing the Black Tulip, who is France's deadliest spy. As with the previous book, there is some romance mixed in with the adventure. This is fun reading! "

" Audio Book. I really like this series of books. They seem kind of like chick novels but I am really into them. "

" Liked this better than Pink Carnation because the falling in love story was more believable... "

" I've been reading these out of order, but am enjoying them nonetheless :). Perfect post-semester read. "

" Second in the Pink Carnation series, which follows in the footsteps of the Scarlet Pimpernel, although the women are still taking the lead in this spy series. "

" Book two was not as good as the first but it was still good. Definitely moving along in the series, on to book three! "

" Fun. A little history, a little romance, a little intrigue. "

" My least favorite of the Pink Carnation series "

" Fun and indulgent. Already placed a hold on the next one at our library! "

" Not nearly as good as the first one and the fourth but still a fun read. I like Willig's novels when they incorporate more historical background. She spent more time giving the history of the &quot;marriage mart&quot; in this one than the history of the Regency. Good, lightweight reading. "

" Great characters yet again... although I noticed that the author really likes old aunts/grandmothers/chaparones that poke people with various pointy objects. Funny after two books but I hope we can get away from it, will probably get annoying. "

" i LOVE Hen and Miles, my favorite couple so far and hope to see more of them in the sequals! "
