Rumors and Gossip . . . The lifeblood of London
When Olivia Bevelstoke is told that her new neighbor may have killed his fiancée, she doesn't believe it for a second, but, still, how can she help spying on him, just to be sure? So she stakes out a spot near her bedroom window, cleverly concealed by curtains, watches, and waits . . . and discovers a most intriguing man, who is definitely up to something.
Sir Harry Valentine works for the boring branch of the War Office, translating documents vital to national security. He's not a spy, but he's had all the training, and when a gorgeous blonde begins to watch him from her window, he is instantly suspicious. But just when he decides that she's nothing more than an annoyingly nosy debutante, he discovers that she might be engaged to a foreign prince, who might be plotting against England. And when Harry is roped into spying on Olivia, he discovers that he might be falling for her himself . . .
What Happens in London is book two in the Bevelstoke Book series by Julia Quinn. I loved it! This book has everything a romance junkie like me wants: steamy scenes, laugh out loud moments and lovely ballrooms. I am so glad I found this series. Sir Harry Valentine is a wonderfully complex character. I think I fell in love with him somewhere around chapter three or four. Olivia Bevelstoke made her debut as the best friend in the previous book in this series “The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever”. Olivia is a hoot. I can’t wait to read the next in this series.
