Bantam February 4, 200 Mass Market Pa used: good
Set during a period of political unrest and persecution, the final entry in Feather's 16th-century Kiss trilogy (following To Kiss a Spy) will hook re aders at the outset, but it may not hold their attention throughout. When L ady Philippa Nielson meets Lionel Ashton, a close confidant of Queen Mary a nd King Philip II, she has the eerie sense that she's met the mysterious En glish lord before. Lionel denies the connection, but the more time she spen ds with him, the more convinced she becomes. As Pippa's friendship with Lio nel grows, her relationship with her husband, Stuart, deteriorates. She sus pects he's having an affair, but it isn't until she learns she's pregnant t hat she discovers the truth: both she and Stuart are pawns in a plot to sec ure Queen Mary's place on the throne, and Lionel, whom Pippa has come to tr ust and even love, may be one of the Queen's puppeteers. Feather skillfully draws out the intrigue and immerses readers in the time period with her de scriptions of court costumes and customs. However, her tendency to overstuf f the novel with details undermines the suspense.

Bantam February 3, 200 Paperback used; excellent
Set in London in 1906, Feather's latest (after Venus) touches on a topic th at is near and dear to many romance readers' hearts-women's right to vote. Constance Duncan, the eldest of three headstrong sisters, throws down the g auntlet to handsome member of Parliament Max Ensor when she declares that w omen's suffrage is the driving force of her existence. In return, Max makes no bones of his opinion that women shouldn't vote, a stance firmly backed by his powerful friends. When Max and Constance's prickly verbal battles fl are into hotly sexual encounters, both seize the chance to do behind the sc enes (or beneath the covers) scouting for their respective parties, even as they wonder what falling in love with the enemy will do to their careers. Though Feather's story stumbles out of the starting gate, it hits a smooth roll when the couple's duels ignite. Constance's sneaky maneuverings, howev er, undermine her credibility, and the sisters' tendency to think that wome n who don't demand the vote are merely mindless sheep makes them seem shall ow rather than sympathetic. All in all, Feather's attempt to illuminate wom en's struggles in early 20th-century London is laudable, but many readers w ill end this tale with doubts that the protagonists' happy ending will be e verlasting.
