Meredith Duncan has learned that staying in school will keep her from having to suffer through an arranged marriage.  This works for a while but no matter what Meredith does or how she acts, her stepfather still wants her to be out of sight.  He finally gives in and allows her to go to school in Eisengau when she hints that being the assistant to an important man will more often than not put her in close quarters with many men, diplomats and service men alike, who might need a wife.  Meredith’s ability to duplicate plans from memory proves invaluable to her employer as well as a man named Brian Donovan, an American who has been sent to Europe on a mission for the president.

KISSES LIKE A DEVIL is the story of William and Viola’s son who readers met in Diane Whiteside’s first DEVIL installment, THE IRISH DEVIL.  Brian has been chosen by Teddy Roosevelt, a friend as well as the president, to go to Europe to ferret out plans for a new highly powerful and destructive weapon.  Brian doesn’t count on meeting Meredith, a very smart yet innocent girl who doesn’t believe in love.  Vowing to make her change her mind regarding men and marriage in general, Brian proceeds to show her exactly how close of a partnership a man and woman can have when love is involved.  Add in the suspense dealing with pre-World War I Europe and my reading experience was complete.

KISSES LIKE A DEVIL by Diane Whiteside is remarkable.  I blushed more than once but sighed in happy glee at how these two young people learned about life, love and happiness.  Meredith’s insecurities and trepidation towards marriage made for an interesting turn of events and a lot of emotional and passionate attempts by Brian to change her mind.  Truly a tremendous book!
