Summary: Good Romance Novel
Review: Shelly Thacker is the perfect writer for Avon and A Stranger's Kiss also fits perfectly in this category. Most of the story is based on lies the hero tells the heroine because she has lost her memory. Marie is a plain country girl who lives for science and chemsitry. That makes her a very unusual girl during the 18th century but it works. The reader likes Marie because Thacker shows her in such a sympathetic light. Because of an explosion in her house, she loses her memory and both the French and the English want her special chemical which could kill thousands. Only Marie has it in her head.
Max D'Avenant is asked by the English government to kidnap Marie and try to get her memory back so they can get the formula for themselves. Max pretends to be her husband and becomes a spy for his own personal reasons and demons. The reader watches as two people fall in love but because of the lies Max tells her, it practically tears them apart. How can he start to love this women who maybe responsible for his brother's blindness and the deaths of many more? She is not the woman he thought her to be. And as Marie falls futher in love with Max, she doesn't realize his deception. She also has the pain of trying to find her own identity.
The reader will enjoy Max's family including his brother Saxon and his wife from the first book Silver and Sapphire.
Nicely rounded love scenes and two characters and reader will enjoy makes this novel and overall good romance.
