In this final installment in the “Designing Debutantes” trilogy (following (
What Happens in the Ballroom), Verity Harper finally finds her Phantom. After several undercover adventures as an English spy, Rafe Wolfford realizes that the only way to foil his most recent foe is to portray the person he least likes to be—himself. Assuming his role as heir to a viscountcy, he must infiltrate society and uncover a traitor, one who is somehow entangled with the Harper sisters and their matchmaking business, Elegant Occasions. When he goes courting, he finds there is also more to Lady Verity than meets the eye. Jeffries completes her trilogy with a heartwarming historical romance full of intrigue, wit, and independent women. The fast pace and playful banter perfectly balance the steamy love scenes and exhilarating espionage. It is manageable, though not ideal, as a stand-alone, due to the amount of backstory it references.
VERDICT This novel will appeal to readers seeking an engaging Regency romance that pairs spirited socialites with swashbuckling excitement. Recommended for fans of Grace Burrowes, Sophie Irwin, and Cathy Maxwell.
