I loved the fact that women were not only pretty faces. With spies and surprises popping up everywhere, it was not just about falling in love. However, the love scenes were truly enviable.” —Daphne Carew, Amazon “Absorbing intrigue! Nicely developed characters and a devious plot keep the excitement going in this splendid read. I'm looking forward to more of Delecki's books!” —Amazon Customer, Amazon “A fast paced plot with well developed characters, plenty of twists and turns that kept me turning the pages because I had to know more and a slow and heated romance. The premise of this code was based on music; and I really did find that to be fascinating. I never knew that there was a "musical code" that was used during this time period. I also enjoyed seeing old friends again from the previous books and finding out how they are and what they have been up to since I left them.” —J.M.
