Deflowering Georgiana (Taken Book 5)


Perhaps we can now have a slightly upgraded and slightly less socially-embarrassing Georgie? Seeing Georgie learning to mingle was really the best part of Naughty in Nice , and the silver-lining from the Darcy shortage was new suitors, even if they were only temporary. I almost wish Jean Paul, he of the suspicious motivations and silver tongue, could have hung around, but the love-triangle hater in me approved of the outcome and the brief glimpse of a jealous Darcy was well worth it.

All this fun, fashion and flirting has its drawbacks, however, and what suffered here was the actual mystery. There was little time to focus on the mystery of who stole the snuffbox and it was really conveniently found in the end. There is also a little family secret for Georgie that is introduced out of the blue at the end and just as quickly bundled off, so that it feels like and unnecessary throwaway tidbit. You win some, you lose some, I guess.

I was disappointed with the previous book in the Her Royal Spyness series as the fun bubbly tone was mostly missing. In Naughty in Nice that seemed to have returned and I was really invested in the story at the beginning. I feel like despite Naughty in Nice's fun beginning it began to eventually feel as though it was following the same kind of pattern as the previous books.

This is a common problem with books in a longer series and it's one of my reading pet peeves. Although the mystery elements, the dialogue, and the changing settings are entertaining, the lack of character development began to frustrate me. I'm someone who gets emotionally invested in characters more so than plot. Obviously I prefer both to be equally as good, however if the characters don't interest me in some way or there isn't any development to them I lose interest quickly.

While I feel like the characters in this series are interesting they also feel now in the fifth book somewhat static. The characters are still the same, their relationships have not changed, and the same mistakes and misunderstandings are being made. It might also not have been as helpful to read so many of these back to back as with the first couple of books I read with a good amount of time in between. Either way I don't really care to read any more of the series at this point. I would still recommend the first few books in the series to anyone whom the blurb catches their attention as they were really fun to read.

However I would warn going in that it does get very repetitive after a while and perhaps space them out as you go.

Publisher's Summary

The author did a great job of steering you off-course with other clues and conflicting viewpoints. I didn't realize how much I liked him till his presence was basically nil. Get to Know Us.

In Naughty in Nice the queen asks Georgie to retrieve a very expensive snuffbox for her, but when a murdered body shows up and Georgie becomes the number one suspect what can she do but investigate the murder?

With a great cast of new characters, including Coco Chanel, and some returning characters this book was simply wonderful and I finished it in one night! The characters are so well written in this series, that This series has once again surprised me by getting even better than the last four! The characters are so well written in this series, that you find the mystery taking the "back burner. You still see more of Darcy and I still hope we learn more about him later, but it was a nice change. You also see less of Belinda in this book, which again was a nice change.

However you see tons more of Georgie's mother and two new characters who are thrown to center stage, Coco Chanel,and Vera, two hilarious and loyal ladies that I hope appear more in future books. In this book Georgie's mother shows a different side of herself, a more caring, gentle, motherly side that if almost the opposite of what we've seen of her in former books, I really liked the new attitude she had and I hope she continues to appear in future books.

The mystery was excellent, there were plenty of clues for the reader to look for, and yet I didn't guess the killer until Georgie did. The author did a great job of steering you off-course with other clues and conflicting viewpoints. Can't wait to read the next one! Feb 03, Pamela Shropshire rated it really liked it Shelves: This installment of the Royal Spyness series was a lot of fun. It would have been more fun if not for the stupid misunderstanding between Georgie and Darcy, but I realize their estrangement served a dual purpose: Will they or won't they?

Instead of having Georgiana spy on the Prince of Wales a This installment of the Royal Spyness series was a lot of fun. HM suspects the thief is one Sir Toby Groper as Georgie muses, he is aptly named, because he gropes any nearby female. Then he turns up murdered and the French police suspect Georgie because the gardener saw her enter the house. But Georgie was miles away at the time with the fake Marquis! I thought the mystery was well done in this one.

I also enjoyed the appearance of Coco Chanel. And Georgie's mother was actually nice in this one - she buys Georgie some much needed gowns, plus a fur coat! Jul 27, Jennifer Rayment rated it it was amazing. I thoroughly enjoy this delightfully British mystery series set in the 30's. This installment Georgie once again thanks to the Queen is set out on special mission which takes her to Nice. There are plenty of twists and turns and hijinks occur as always. Georgie, due to instances which I cannot discuss as it will ruin the story, begins a romance with a charming and sexy French man.

The setting is truly divine, and I now have an obsessive need to see Nice Though lets face it, I truly believe this bookworm would be disappointed, as it won't be like it was in the 30's I have mentioned on any occasions, that my love of this series is based on the fabulous characters, not the mystery itself. You won't be disappointed this time around as there are some delightful scenes with Belinda, Queenie, Darcy, and Georgies Mom and maternal grandfather.

If you haven't had a chance, I highly recommend the audio versions of this series.

In this addition Georgiana is off to Nice with the hope of inter-mingling with the notorious, young, European jet setters.

Joe Rogan - The Problem with Self Help Books

Chuckles abound in this series. May 23, Lauren rated it liked it. In the fifth installment of Her Royal Spyness , our plucky heroine Georgie sadly crossed into eye-rolling territory. While Naughty in Nice has the most complicated plot of the series so far, Georgie is strangely dense.

Her teeth-grinding stupidity was doubly frustrating because the plot would have been loads better if she had been her usual self. This addicting series has everything! I can actually visualize being there with the main character! I highly recommend this fun read! Jun 20, Julia rated it really liked it.

Another delightful, cozy mystery in the Her Royal Spyness series.

This one takes place in Nice, as the title indicates. Georgie's mother plays a more prominent role in this mystery, which was nice to see.

Coco Chanel also makes an appearance! Nov 19, Ryan rated it liked it. Book number 5, and I'm still in love with Georgie,her mother, Darcy, Belinda, and all the rest of them. As you know, I'm a huge mystery fan, but I've never been one into the "cozy" classification of mysteries all that much. I find most of them to be rather predictable and full of stock characters that could easily pass back and forth between authors. But there is something so fun and lively about Georgie, that I can't help but keep coming back for more.

Poor Georgie, despite the royal blood flowi Book number 5, and I'm still in love with Georgie,her mother, Darcy, Belinda, and all the rest of them. Poor Georgie, despite the royal blood flowing through her veins, she is young woman who just doesn't have any money. She isn't allowed to have a job like a "commoner" could, so she can't make money.

Her, long deceased, father squandered the family fortune years ago, so there is no money coming from that direction. Her brother's wife, holds the purse strings tightly, and doesn't allow Georgie much in the way of expenses. So she has been forced to make for herself, the best she can. Luckily for her, she is surrounded by those that love her, and if they can't help her financially, they keep her spirits up.

When the Queen sends her to the Riviera to find her missing antique, she has no clue where she will stay, or how she will pull it off. Through some rather lucky breaks, she finds herself standing on the porch of her mother's villa, who she didn't even know was going to be in France at the time. So with the place to stay settled, she does her best to figure a way to get into Sir Toby Groper's good graces. And once again, providence strikes, for her mother's villa just happens to sit right above Sir Toby's. Of course this wouldn't be Georgie's life in everything didn't go wrong, and uproariously so.

At one point in time she is forced to jump off a yacht, only to be rescued by a dashing nobleman who may not be all he seems to be. Customers who bought this item also bought.
