Publisher Description
Every heart holds a secret, but some are harder to reveal than others…
England, 1812. Aster Simmons lives a quiet and orderly existence working as a secretary and indulging in her love for puzzles—until her routine is disrupted by the arrival of an impertinent Scotsman who lounges around her office like an overgrown dog. The heated glances he casts her way make her think very non-routine thoughts.
Hamish Logan, captain in the Highland Wolves, has been given a mission to protect the man working on a coded list of traitors. If the Wolves are ever to have the same rights as ordinary men, he has to prove to those in power that a wolf can be civilised. The only problem is the fascinating secretary, who makes his wolf rise to the surface and makes him want to do very uncivilised things.
When the traitors strike, Aster flees with a wolf in pursuit. But can she determine who is behind the plot against England before she forfeits her heart and her life?

Secrets to Reveal
Between an okay and nice read. I appreciate the level of research evident in the writing. There are several typos i.e. wrong word forms, repeated words, missing words etc. Rehashing of information makes for repetitive reading and events are frequently over-explained.
The author appears uncomfortable or inexperienced with incorporating sex. It’s awkward, with the author timidly writing a bit of foreplay and then abruptly jumping to post-coitus in the middle of the chapter with no break or real transition. Like they tried to go into detail and then decided to abort at the last second. Hamish’s foot fetish doesn’t feature so the only reason he has it is historical memes.
The whole ballroom sequence doesn’t make sense. Forge was supposedly keeping tabs on Hamish who convened with Quinn on more than one occasion so he would’ve known who he was. Aster did not have a premeditated role to play. By having Aster attend they risked the assailants recognizing her. She was put at risk for the shallow reason of giving her a Cinderella moment, despite Aster’s safety supposedly being Hamish’s top priority.
Not what I expected
Fun read
Interesting book
I enjoyed this book but I was disappointed there was no definition of some of the words.
