What is this book about?
Miss Dinah Ashmore has a problem. Her sister has gone missing, and the constable isn’t taking it seriously. She decides to take matters into her own hands by hiring a Bow Street Runner, not understanding the danger she has put herself in.
Nathaniel Calvert, Earl of Hawthorne, is an agent of the Crown. His assignment is to root out a radical group and bring them to justice. When Miss Ashmore mistakes him as a Bow Street Runner and explains her plight, he suspects that the missing sister might be connected to his case.
As Nathaniel works to stop the threat on the Crown, he realizes that Dinah isn’t content with just being brushed aside. She is determined to be part of the effort to bring her sister home, no matter what the costs are. When Dinah’s actions cause her life to be threatened, Nathaniel must keep her safe as he attempts to ignore their growing attraction. And when the truth is finally revealed, will Dinah be able to accept Nathaniel’s lies and trust that love will conquer all?
My review:
This is a clean romance with some light-hearted fun mixed with some suspense. Nathaniel was a spy and I liked his character from that perspective. I wanted to like Dinah, but she bounced back and forth between being strong and then weak. The mystery surrounding her sister’s disappearance was interesting and I enjoyed the villain getting what he deserved. The best part of the story was when Nathaniel’s fellow agents showed up. Their antics made me laugh out loud.
What I enjoyed most about this book:
Strangely enough, it was the two agents who guarded the offices. Their antics made me laugh every time they were on the page.
What I didn’t like about this book:
Dinah who was too wishy-washy
Would I recommend this book to others? Perhaps. Sweet romance with some interesting characters. This is the first book in the series.
Where can I learn more about this author and their books?
