Lola Montez Conquers the Spaniards
A wild, humorous and sexy romp through history based on the real-life adventures of the audacious, Lola Montez.
It is 1842, London, and the gorgeous, ever-capricious twenty-two year old Eliza Gilbert, (aka Lola Montez) is in deep trouble and seeks escape from a divorce trial. Desperate to be free, Lola accepts an alluring offer of a paid trip to Spain, if she will only fulfill a few tasks for Juan de Grimaldi - a Spanish theatre impresario who is also a government agent and spy for the exiled Spanish queen, Maria Cristina.
Lola soon finds herself in Madrid, undercover as a performer in a musical play. But when she falls dangerously in love with the target, General Diego de Léon, the "perfect Spanish soldier, lover and horseman" Lola becomes a double agent and the two hatch a plot of their own. Disaster strikes when the plot is exposed, Diego is captured, and Lola is forced to flee on horseback to France, with a dangerous group of Loyalists in hot pursuit. Will Lola's reckless daring, feminine whiles, and signature whip be enough to save her life and preserve her cause? She will have to be more whip smart than ever.
Written with zest and a passionate, fiery fervor by debut author Kit Brennan, Whip Smart irresistibly whisks readers into a vivid journey through 19th Century, France, England and Spain, riding sidesaddle with Eliza Gilbert, the hot-headed Irish girl, as she transforms into Dona Maria Dolores de Porris y Montezaka Lola Montez, the sensation of Europe!
Kit Brennan is an award-winning playwright, and teaches writing and storytelling at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec. Whip Smart: Lola Montez Conquers the Spaniards is her debut novel.
