Code Breakers #1-3
The Code Breakers Series Box Set
Enter the emotional, suspenseful Regency world of the Code Breakers with this boxed set containing books 1-3 of the bestselling spy series. Undaunted by danger or scandal, these intrepid lords and ladies discover true love as they risk it all to save England from Napoleon’s treacherous designs.
Book 1: A Code of Love
Raised by a family of code breaking spies, the indomitable Lady Henrietta Harcourt would rather face any danger than reunite with the infamous rake who broke her heart. But to save her kidnapped brother, she must trust Lord Cordelier Rathbourne not just with her carefully guarded secrets, but her heart too.
Book 2: A Christmas Code
Returning from three years undercover in France, hard-hearted Viscount James Ashworth is far too tempted by the one woman he’d always considered off-limits: the smart, passionate Lady Gwyneth Beaumont. When Gwyneth’s determination to join the Code Breakers agents puts her in danger, James protects her...and discovers there’s no one he’d rather kiss under the mistletoe than his childhood friend.

Great books, loved the series and can't wait for the next one this summer! Bought the series and I am glad I did, I would not have been able to stop at just one!

A Code Of Love
I really enjoyed this. Whether or not there’s any historical accuracy to it, I had fun with it. I found it easy to understand the characters motivations while their actions and emotions were complex enough to keep me engaged in the story. There is a large supporting cast to this book, and I found myself occasionally distracted trying to remember who someone was in terms of the grande scheme of things. There was enough time spent fleshing out the largest roles in the supporting cast that I’m sufficiently intrigued to want to continue with the series.
A Christmas Code
I enjoyed this book, but I didn’t love it the way I wanted to. For two adults, Ash and Gwenyth spend too much time behaving like love-sick tweenagers. Perhaps it was the short format of this story, but the plotting felt a little heavy-handed and the sense of deus ex machina was overwhelming. Everything happened at exactly the right time and our leading couple knew exactly what to do – except with each other. There was no fumbling, no need to search for answers because Gwyneth was always in the right place at the right time, every time, to learn them. As a transition story in the middle of the series, it’s okay. But this doesn’t stand well on its own.
A Code of the Heart
This was a fun book. I loved Amelia’s independence, but she swung so wildly from a strong sassy woman to displaying no backbone (or wisdom) at all. I may have sprained a muscle in my brain, I rolled my eyes so hard a couple of times. Other than the intimate scenes between Amelia and Derrick, the style of writing seemed almost designed for a younger audience. With all of the madcap running around, this felt a little like a Disney Sunday movie, or possibly an episode of I Love Lucy. What I’ve gotten from this series hasn’t been historical accuracy, but it has been a full-fledged mental escape.

A Code of Love, my first read from author Jacki Delecki! Wonderful character development. The narrator did a good job of mixing her voice inflections to give character to the characters. Action and suspense (and romance) build throughout the book until near the end you can’t wait to turn the next page! I look forward to the second book.

I enjoyed this series of books. They are frothy and flirty books, with strong willed, independent heroines and heroes who need to be taught how to get along with such women. Eventually of course, after going down a rocky road, everyone falls in love and gets married after the usual misunderstandings. There is some sex, not a great deal of it and it is detailed but on the soft side but yes, there is full intercourse.
I liked the style, the plot, the characters.
One thing to note that there are some current phrases which crop up that I didn’t like but they are only a few.
I plan to continue to read this series and am off to buy the next book!

Spies and Romance
Not sure how true to history this is but the story line is interesting.
The women seems to rebel against the societal norms and the romance is rather repetitive. Every couple seems to have similar paths in their ways to true love. Not sure I will read more of this series

Delightful!
I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I love strong intelligent women. Great plots full of treasonous intrigue and action. Hero's who have no clue what to do with these women. Wonderful fast reads.

Triple the fun
Three terrific books all in one! Love when all three have a common thread, it keeps your interest and you can find out how the lives of the previous couple are doing. Loved these books!

Amazing set of books in one place. Lords and Ladies who find love and scandal in Napoleon’s time. Truly enjoyable.

This says numbers 1-3, but is actually something like numbers 2, 8 etc in the series which was fairly confusing. Since they build on each other it would be more helpful to read them all in order.

I loved the set! Each story was wonderfully told and kept the reader involved with the story line. I loved how in each of the stories, all the hero's were trying to keep their lady safe, while all the ladies were trying to prove that they weren't wilted flowers and able to pull their own weight in helping out. Yet each heroine differed in areas like Henrietta had been helping for years, just no one knew, Gwen wanted to be involved and jumped in quickly while Amelia never wanted to be involved, yet to help others she joined in. The plot lines were never slow and the author was able to keep me interested throughout the whole series (that I read in 1 night). Just saying again, I loved them!

Spies and heroines
Of the three stories the first definitely had the strongest story line and my favorite characters. It certainly could stand alone but was a great lead in to the next two stories.
