Once a Spy

by Mary Jo Putney

As a long lost and unrequited love is rekindled, Napoleon strikes again, bonding the new lovers even tighter than before.

Suzanne has suffered much over the years after first meeting her now husband… when they met they were celebrating her wedding to his second cousin. Content at being friends they continued on in their live, until tragedy and war brings them together again. No longer a fresh young bride, Suzanne is weary of committing to another man after suffering so much at the hands of men… can a marriage of convenience and friendship bring her the peace and security she desires… or will other desires come back to her?

Simon Duval has retired from his commission after the Emperor Napoleon is exiled away. He now wants to settle down and manage his estates. After receiving news of his distant cousins widow living in London, he is immediately drawn to her. War has diminish all of his desires, but upon seeing her he finds himself drawn to her… knowing that she will not welcome a traditional marriage after what she has experienced and still needing to have her by his side, he proposes a marriage of friendship.

Soon their friendship is put to the test with the return of desire and the outbreak of war. Can they work together to navigate these times of political turmoil? Perhaps, together they will prove to themselves that they are stronger than they ever knew they could be.

An excellent story of true love, political intrigue, and inner strength. The way Putney handles Suzannes previous trauma, along with Simons kind support, make this story well worth the read. Plus, al the political excitement is a lot of fun too! Another great book in the Rogues Redeemed series!

The fourth book in the Rogues Redeemed series, Once a Spy by Mary Jo Putney is due to release September 24th, 2019.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Kensington Books and Zebra Romance through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Remember Love

Remember Love Ravenswood series, Book 1 by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Historical romance queen, Mary Balogh introduces us to another brilliant extended family and reminds up to remember love in one swoop with this series opener! First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Her beautiful storytelling and detailed descriptions and character building really immersed me into this story and made me root for second chances and love!

White Knight Needed

White Knight Needed Reluctant Heroes, Book 2 by Betina Krahn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Barclay Howard is bigger and burlier than your average gentleman… and thus he has found himself to be somewhat of an antidote to the fairer sex. As a result he is more often found behind the pages of his Ivanhoe novel than out and about attempting to court a fair lady. But when his path crosses with down on her luck Norah Capshaw, his white knight complex rises up to make him go above and beyond again and again to be her hero… even though she is incredibly reluctant to the idea! This was a fun adventure romance filled with roadside hijinks, and a family mystery. Barclay was a perfect hero in this book. He was always there offering support and rescue to Norah. On the other side Norah’s resistance of Barclay and his efforts was the only wet blanket on this otherwise delightfully sweet romance!   Overall, this is my second Betina Kran book and I find her writing very light hearted and action packed.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
