Summary: Pigeon Fanatic
Review: If you have a fanatical need to know about pigeons, then this novel is for you. The book would have been more stimulating if the romance was tied to where the action was - pigeons in love, pigeons in love triangle, pigeon jealousy etc. The only thing I can remember about the heroine is that she likes pigeons. I did like the title however.

Summary: Yawn
Review: Lord Rexford was wounded in the Napoleanic Wars and has been stuck behind a desk, sorting through messages from the crown's spies all over Europe, ever since. Meanwhile, Wellington is about to go to Waterloo -- this does not make him happy. Now he has to convince England's leading expert in carrier pigeons to give up her precious flock of birds for The Cause. He's not exactly thrilled about that, either, but it beats sitting behind a desk.

I know what you're probably thinking, because I thought the exact same thing: pigeons? Yes, it's strange. Very strange.

FLIGHT OF FANCY was an extremely boring book. It was so dull that I barely made it to the fifty-page mark. I think this is because the plot isn't strong enough to hold up an entire novel, and isn't very interesting. Someone like Julia Quinn might have been able to pull it off (had she been wacky enough to try it), but Veisel's prose, at least in this novel, lacks any spark of emotion or intelligence. In essence, I found FLIGHT OF FANCY to be a nothing but a big yawn.
