Summary: A very Good Book
Review: When Queen Victoria calls upon Lady Anne, Baroness of Whitehaven and Patrick Sutherland, fifth Viscount Glengramach to investigate the suspicious death of her uncle, little does she know about their past and the tension that exist between them. As wild rebellious youths they had a stormy affair that shook them both more than either wants to admit. Now they are thrown together by royal command and supervised by an old eccentric aunt who knows something is between these two and plans to do some matchmaking. When it is discovered that Patrick will play the role of Anne's butler, it's humuliating; but he will do anything to win Anne back, even suffer from "housmaids knee"! This is a wonderful love story of youths' first love lost and then found again. It will pull your heart strings, especially if you have ever lost your true love only to find him again unexpectedly!

Summary: Enjoy a Wonderful and Funny Indiscretion!
Review: Whenever I've picked up a book by Jillian Hunter I know I am not going to be disappointed and "Indiscretion" - is again a testament to that fact. In a nutshell, Anne Kerr was labeled as fast and wild as a young girl. An unhappy home life made her wild and crazy horse rides across the moorlands food for fodder and the gossips had a field day. In a very impetuous moment - and possibly as an act of rebellion she arranged to meet the local noblemens son and `bad boy' Patrick Sutherland, for an afternoon delight! She innocently gave herself and her love thinking that it meant something to him, but for Patrick the loss of his mother and the apparent disdain of his father for his wild ways only spurred his rebellion. He just didn't think beyond that day, although to his credit he told her that should she become pregnant to contact him. He was sent away only to find a few months later that Anne had been married off to his cousin David.

Seven years later, Anne is now a widow whose mourning period has passed. Queen Victoria has summoned her for an audience. Who should she run into but the man who broke her heart - who as it happens has also been summoned for an audience with the queen. Queen Victoria, on the advice of her `advisor' requested that Anne and her cousin by marriage - Patrick - travel to Anne's Scotland estate to investigate the suspicious death of Patrick's Uncle Edgar and naturally, Anne's uncle by marriage. The whispered witty dialog as the plans were made that both Patrick and Anne had going back and forth were simply too, too funny. Patrick was all for the plan - Anne thought it horrendous - until the queen informed them that her `advisor' thought Patrick could travel incognito, so to speak, as none other than Anne's butler! You will just laugh yourself silly over Patrick's portrayal of the most irreverent butler you have ever seen as he tries to romance his way back into Anne's life!

Patrick, as a butler was a stroke of genius, and the numerous and colorful secondary characters, especially Patrick's very feisty, no-nonsense Aunt Nellwyn - who just happened to be Queen Victoria's `advisor' - is a gem. The plot is totally fresh and the flashbacks to Anne and Patrick's one very, very sensual indiscretion was delightful to say the least! Sit back, grab this book and totally enjoy this one very stimulating `indiscretion' !

Summary: HUNTER IS A MASTER OF HER CRAFT!
Review: Whether it's suspense or humor, Jillian Hunter provides story telling perfection and has since I first read her work in 1986. Her talent should be applauded. Her storytelling capabilities are some of the finest in this or any other genre. Once again, Hunter delivers with Indiscretion, a superbly crafted story that takes the reader on a roller coaster ride that keeps one fixated and enthralled from first page to last. This book deserves to be on the top of everyone's To Be Read list--not to mention the Best seller lists! Bravo, Hunter, for once again giving us our money's worth!
