I loved this book from the first page. Being a fan of the Victorian era, I found the writer's details accurate and realistic. And the love story was touching and heartwarming. The combination of courtly intrigue and family intrigue kept me turning pages. I can't wait for the stories of the other three Sutherland sisters, once childhood friends of young Victoria and now secret servants to their queen. Each sister has her own unique personality and skills to offer the newly crowned monarch. This is truly romance with a twist.
great read!

Laurel and Aiden are a dynamic couple, and Ms. Chase brings the Victorian Era to life with her vivid descriptions. This series is about sisters who become spies for the queen, who was a childhood friend. Their own history is a mystery as well, making me even more eager for the next book!

In 1830 the four orphaned Sutherland sisters became close friends of Princess Victoria. She trusts the siblings with her own safety so she asks them to go undercover to investigate potential threats the Crown. They agree. Victoria believes her cousin Lord Munster George Fitzclarence is plotting something seditious and nasty. She asks Laurel to pretend to be a widow in order to learn if he is and if yes what he intends to do. At the same time she begins her masquerade ploy, agent Aidan Phillips is working undercover to identify who is behind a financial scandal that includes homicide. Aidan is attracted to the widow, but fears she is Fitzclarence's partner. The first Sutherland called to duty; Laurel is a superb early Victorian Era heroine. Her cat and mouse dangerous game with Aidan is fun to follow as neither trusts the other while sharing in common a need to uncover Fitzclarence's seditious acts and a need of love. Fitzclarence was a real historical person which enhances the story line by bringing a genuineness to the entertaining plot. Fast-paced, fans will enjoy the opening act of Her Majesty's Secret Servants as dueling investigations lead to a traitor and love. Harriet Klausner
