Synopsis:
The greatest risk—for the sweetest reward…
His fiancée’s betrayal nearly cost Jacques Laurent everything. Despite his resolve not to trust anyone again, he can’t abandon the young woman he finds alone on the road to London. In the brief hours they spend together, the enigmatic Diana touches his heart in a way he can’t explain. Even after bringing her to the Everton Domestic Society for safekeeping, he can’t get her out of his thoughts. And when he next encounters her, working as assistant to a renowned scientist, he becomes even more intrigued…
The Society’s kindness is especially welcome after everything Diana endured in a French prison, but she fears for the safety of those who get close to her. French spies are on her trail, convinced that her scientific knowledge can help them win the war. As peril draws them irrevocably together, Diana and Jacques succumb to mutual desire. But love may be the most dangerous pursuit of all, when a lady guards her heart even more carefully than she guards her life . . .
My Rating:
My Thoughts:
This was an interesting read. I enjoyed the characters and the romance, but I found that I kept zoning out while reading the story. The plot was pretty solid and unexpected as well. I enjoyed Diana and Jacques from beginning to end. Diana is not your typical woman, but rather she is daring, bold and strong in many aspects. She's very sarcastic and guarded as well. Seeing her guard break down was awesome. Jacques is a strong male character. He was a gentleman, loving and a bit over protective. He had a bit of an "alpha-male" kind of feel, but he didn't force his feelings. The Everton Domestic Society is such a crazy bunch! I loved all of the characters and their weird quirks.
Overall, it was a good read and I would recommend it if you are into historical romance.
