Summary: 5 Stars
While cracking a safe belonging to Lord Pembroke in a search for a list of British operatives, James Locke can hardly believe his eyes. He hears the footsteps of someone entering the study, but he sees no one. Then he sees the drawers of the safe opening and closing as if by magic. Logic tells him there must be a reasonable explanation, but he's baffled. When a ruby necklace floats out the door seemingly carried by nothing but air, he takes pursuit.
Lusinda Havershaw arrives home with the unsettling knowledge that she was seen taking the necklace. Little does she know that man followed her and is determined to discover her secret. Locke sets a trap and forces Lusinda to explain her extraordinary ability: she becomes invisible in moonlight. He proposes that she become a spy, but she's reluctant. Finally, she agrees because she's tired of running any time she faces the threat of being discovered. The notion of being protected by the Crown instead of being persecuted for her strange ability is new to Lusinda, but not unappealing. This may be her chance to provide a somewhat stable life for her younger sisters.
Meanwhile, Locke is trying to remember that it's a bad idea to develop any real feelings for Lusinda. No attachments. That's the code for spies like him. But this beautiful and compelling young woman poses a very serious challenge to his resolve.
Take the lively, engaging writing style of Donna MacMeans and combine it with a fresh paranormal twist in a popular historical setting and you've got a surefire winner. The characters in The Trouble With Moonlight are brought to life by this immensely talented author, and readers will feel Locke and Sinda's first kiss right down to their toes. With enough twists and turns to keep readers turning pages late into the night, The Trouble With Moonlight will undoubtedly find its way into hearts and keeper shelves. Definitely recommended.

Summary of The Trouble with Moonlight
Another fabulously funny and sexy romp from the author of The Education of Mrs. BrimleyIn the midst of a moonlit safecracking mission, British spy James Locke witnesses a ruby necklace spirited away as if by conjurer?s trick. Following the jewels leads him to Lusinda Havershaw, who?s inherited the talent of turning invisible in the moonlight?at least, the parts of her that are unclothed. Locke trains Lusinda in espionage, even while he finds her close proximity bewitchingly distracting. And as their mission to track Russian spies grows treacherous, they?ll find that the heart behaves even more mysteriously than Lusinda in the moonlight
