I loved how this author was able to 'wove in the challenge of British politicians to deal with the threat of treason and anarchy for those who supported the impending uprising of the American colonists.' All of this indeed was able to present the reader with a colorful intriguing historical background of this story of "Caught." We are presented with some protagonists who I would say are quite flawed but still likable in their own way, along with well developed 'aristocratic friends, families, each with different personalities, set of goals and yes with their problems, trials and tribulations.' The author really draws the reader in with the feeling of being transported into their lives with her characters at that particular time and place. This was definitely a read that will keep you attentive as you turn the pages of this dramatic romance of a historical setting of the Regency Georgian England society in 1772. Caught in the act, caught by scandal, caught by honor, and caught by duty, the four friends are ultimately caught by the most powerful thing of all-love. The unfashionable Breanda shows herself to be a spitfire capable of saving them all. Perhaps the most surprising of all is the involvement of Alison's constant companion, the wallflower Brenda Boswell. When Robert is given charge of the investigation against Anthony, frienships, loyalty, and ideals come into question.
Secretly, Anthony risks the gallows for his onging support of the populist movements. Marquis Anthony Farrington is one of Alison's many rejected suitors and Robert's best friend. When villainy leaves the ravishing (and ravished) Alison thrown at this feet, Robert is pulled from his self-recrimination and into the heart of the Season's hottest gossip.
Robert Anderson, Lord Charmaine, is focused on his tumbling finances and dying father. With her perfect breeding, flawless beauty, and proper manners, Alison Brooke never expected to be smeared by the cruel brush of scandal.
