Synopsis

The Naked Truth. . .

After eight Seasons in London, Lady Jane Parker-Roth is ready to quit the dull search for a husband in favor of more exciting pursuits. So when she encounters an intruder in her host's townhouse, she's not about to let the scoundrel escape. Until she discovers she's wrestling a viscount--Edmund Smyth, the one noble she wouldn't mind meeting in the dark. And when their struggle shatters a randy statue of the god Pan, even more mischief ensues. . .

Edmund was indeed searching for evidence of a scandal, but the shocking clues inside the nude statue are far from what he expected. The same can be said of Jane, who shows a talent for interfering in his affairs. And as his quest becomes more than a little improper, he finds the impetuous Lady has a talent for that as well. . .

From Booklist:

*Starred Review* Edmund Smyth, Viscount Motton, can't believe how rapidly his life as a happy bachelor has fallen apart. The fifth of his paternal aunts has joined her siblings on an extended visit, and the collective chaos of their menagerie—a monkey, several dogs, and a parrot with an attitude (not to mention the aunts themselves)—pervades every corner of his once quiet, orderly home. Just when Edmund thinks things can't get worse, the aunts decide he has been single long enough, and begin a matchmaking campaign in earnest. As if he doesn't have enough problems with women, the intrepid Lady Jane Parker-Roth, a veteran of eight London seasons, decides to join him as he searches for pieces of a sketch that hold the answer to a scandalous mystery. It's a laugh a minute as the determined aunts carry out their plans to make their nephew a happy man—whether he wants it or not—and Jane blithely ignores his orders. Brimming with sex, schemes, and sass, MacKenzie's books (The Naked Duke, 2005; The Naked Marquis, 2006; The Naked Baron, 2009) are so addictive they should come with a warning label. --Shelley Mosley
