This is the last book in Shana Galen’s elegant and exciting Jewels of the Ton trilogy—about three courtesans, darlings of the good-time Prince Regent, who are not exactly what they seem—and my favorite of the three.

Shana Galen writes historical Regency romance with action adventure plots and a mystery. And nobody writes fight scenes like she does; they are realistic without being graphically gruesome or gratuitous. I especially enjoy how Lily holds her own and defends herself against men.

In this series, three “courtesans,” Juliette, Fallon, and Lily—known as the Jewels of the Ton—were all rescued from life on the streets by the kindly and elderly Earl of Sinclair and his formidable countess. Society believes they have an unorthodox sexual arrangement with the earl while his wife turns a blind eye, but appearances are deceiving in more ways than one.

As with all of Galen’s stories, there is much humor, emotion, intrigue, as well as a sexy and genuine romance. I like how this series combines the elegance of London society with an insidious espionage plot. There are beautiful balls and gorgeous gowns, fast-paced chase and fight scenes, and a poignant and mature love story. While all three courtesans are not virgins, they each hold secrets from their pasts that they carry heavy in their hearts.

Lily Dawson, known as the Countess of Charm, is a green-eyed redhead who works undercover for the Crown; she really has two disguises. She has managed quite well on her own but, when she sets her sights on the Duke of Ravenscroft, she doesn’t count on his handsome son, Andrew, getting in her way.
