Lord Evan Corbyn is responsible for all of the agents of the Crown. When one of his agents is murdered, he is determined to bring the killer to justice but all is not what it seems.
Lady Jane Radcliff tires of her brothers’ secrets and is determined to root out the truth. Thankfully, she is rescued by the dashing Lord Evan, a man whom she has always held in high regard.
As they wrestle with their feelings for one another, a dangerous person from Evan’s past comes back to haunt him, causing him to push Jane far away to protect her. In doing so, he realizes that she has taken his heart with her. Is he strong enough to make room for Jane in his heart or will he choose the easier, but more solitary life?
I haven't read the other books in the series before but I was able to follow the story easily enough. It's a great book. Nicely paced. Likable characters... Lots of actions and suspense. An intriguing plot. The romance is nicely done. Sweet and romantic... I love the epilogue too.
Lord Evan Corbyn has stealth and James Bond like undercover skills that enable him to be one of the best operatives in a black ops covert group that doesn’t exist according to the government. Lady Jane Radcliff unfortunately becomes embroiled in one of the nasty underground affairs of the agents life by not only having brothers with mysteries and there friend Lord Evan who she has had feelings for a long time.
It would seem that the author presents to us a journey of sleuthing to uncover who is truly after whom and where do all the characters fit into what plot! I enjoyed the book because you know there is an endgame, but one has to follow the crumbs to get there and Laura Beers does a good job of doing the leading. I would have liked more interaction between the villain and Evan & Jane. To much was spent on the brothers and Jane. Also more romance between Evan and Jane would have been a plus and that’s why 4 stars.
I received a free advanced copy from NetGalley and these are my willingly given thoughts and opinions.
A superb mix of suspense, secrets, and romance A great read that will thoroughly pull you in. Lady Jane is surrounded by people with secrets. Her brothers are keeping things from her, not explaining their behavior, and refusing to answer her questions. Now Lord Evan (Corbyn), the only man she has ever been interested in, is following in her brothers’ path with evasions and refusals to answer. When attempts to harm her are made she wants answers but is only brushed aside. Told that she will be taken care of. Corbyn has always been drawn to Lady Jane but with his former life as a spy and now head of the crown’s espionage group he feels unworthy of her. When threats and attacks occur against people he cares for, the pressure on him increases to keep his people, friends, and family safe, especially Jane. A wonderful book you will not want to put down. I received an early copy and this is my honest review.
What a ride! Evan, head agent to the Crown, rescues Lady Jane from a precarious situation. In the process he loses his heart. Lady Jane has always admired Evan, but since the rescue her feelings have deepened. These two must race against an old enemy in order to reach their HEA. Great read. Thank you Laura Beers, Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley for allowing me an advance copy for my honest feedback.
While this is a good book, the romance isn't in the forefront of the story. I enjoy suspense thrillers, so I still enjoyed reading this. The main characters are wonderfully crafted and the story keeps you enthralled. As long as you're not looking for a book heavy on romance, this is a great one to pick
This was an interesting premise, with a madman bent on revenge against the hero, and the heroine in harm's way. I would have liked to see a little more romance to complement the adventure, but overall it is an enjoyable read.
