The Deception of the Emerald Ring

De: Lauren Willig

Narrado por: Kate Reading

Eloise Kelly has gotten into quite a bit of trouble since she started spying on the Pink Carnation and the Black Tulip-two of the deadliest spies to saunter the streets of nineteenth-century England and France.

Not only has she unearthed secrets that will rearrange history, she's dallied with Colin Selwick and sought out a romantic adventure all her own. Little does she know that she's about to uncover another fierce heroine running headlong into history.©2006 Lauren Willig; (P)2006 Penguin Audio, a member of Penguin Group (USA) Inc., and Books on Tape.

More Praise for the Novels of Lauren Willig

“[This] sparkling series continues to elevate the Regency romance genre.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Jane Austen for the modern girl.”—New York Times Bestselling Author Christina Dodd

Kate is amazing. Lauren is even more!

I picked up the pink carnation book as a suggestion from a friend and I've read the first three and they are amazing. I love the characters and the intertwining relationships. I also love the narrator Eloise, she is so fun to follow and her relationship with Colin is so fun to read.

Worth a listen.

Considerably less entertaining than the first two books, both of which were absolutely smashing. Both leading characters are less well-developed than in previous books: Letty Alsworthy is a country mouse with some little charm, it's true, but Geoffrey Pinghingdale-Snipe remains as quiet and unassuming as a leading man as he was as a backgrounf figure in previous books. Still, it's entertaining enough, especially the bits in between involving the modern day Eloise and Colin. Worth a listen.

Female Lethal-Weapon Fun!!

Individually entertaining Willig's Pink Carnation spy team are a frolicking good time! Can't wait to read (hear) the next one!

The story goes on
