Summary: Jillian Hunter's Best Novel To Date!
Comment: Like so many romance writers today, in this tale Jillian Hunter crosses the genre lines into mystery without leaving the historical romance field behind. She successfully blends the genres into a fun and exciting adventure for the reader. In my opinion, this is Jillian Hunter's best book to date. The real bonus for the reader is her typical comical interactions between vivid characters. You can actually see yourself or people you know in many of these situations.
The story is of Anne Kerr, who has never gotten over the scandal of a brief affair with Patrick Sutherland before he left to fight with the infantry. She was then quickly married off to his cousin so her parents wouldn't have to deal with the headstrong girl any longer. Seven years later, Patrick and Anne are thrown together by royal decree - they must investigate the mysterious death of an uncle, with the help of Aunt Nellwyn, a widow who has outlasted several husbands but will never overlook a good time.
The story is set at Anne's hunting lodge with Patrick acting as her butler, which in itself brings about many humorous situations. One of the best things that Hunter brings to her books is her vivacious characters and their amusing repartee. She has compelling women and romantic men who always seem to have battles of wits throughout her books.
This tale will have you laughing your way through as you try to figure out who the villain is that killed Uncle Edgar and then on to the last page. Indiscretion should be a definite addition to your list of "must read" books!

Summary: A very lusty farce and an altogether wonderful romance
Comment: Jillian Hunter just seems to get better and better. What makes Indiscretion work so well is the plot structure, which immediately reveals the past relationship between widowed heroine Anne and Patrick Sutherland, fifth Viscount Glengramach.
Queen Victoria sends these two, in the company of Patrick's eccentric aunt, to investigate the death of Anne's uncle - was it murder or did he die of natural causes? While determining that is the basis for the story, it does not IN THE LEAST bog down the romantic interplay between Anne and Patrick, or the clever banter with and between secondary characters who are wonderful as well.
Anne wants nothing to do with him and Patrick will do anything to get her back, even if it means suffering from "housemaid's knee" while pretending to be her butler. This is an incredibly witty farce and is a far more sexual book than others I've read by author Hunter in the past. It's terrific!

Summary: Enjoy a Wonderful and Funny Indiscretion!
Comment: 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' !
