One Thing Leads to a Lover

Love and Let Spy, Book 2

by Susanna Craig

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

This series is such a treat!

The second book in the Love and Let Spy series from Susanna Craig sets up with a switched code book that forecasts the introduction of the dutiful widow Amanda to Magpie, Major Stanhope of the Underground intelligence offices…

Lady Amanda is looking for some excitement and the Magpie is just following orders and trying to atone for past mistakes. They are thus together when the code book in her possession goes missing and her help is need to retrieve the book.

There was so much about this book that I loved! Firstly, Amanda as the widow in her 30’s wanting to have a little excitement after alway being told to keep in line. Her new experiences are fun to read and it’s so nice to have a more mature heroine with some life experience to give some weight to the character. Next, you have the Magpie, Major Stnahope; his character is many layered and his ability to mimic makes for some fun situations. And lastly, the espionage and the search for the code book was a lot of fun and kept me guessing as I was reading.

This was a great historical romance with an intriguing plot! I was also pleased by the teaser in the epilogue for the next spy to fall in love! I can’t wait!

One Thing Leads to a Lover by Susanna Craig is scheduled to release April 6th, 2021.

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

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! Childhood neighbours, Devlin Ware and Gwyneth Rhys never know the other felt the same attraction and pull towards the other until the stars aligned at the neighbourhood fete and they finally discover their mutual affection… but they were not mean to be young lovers, since family scandal befalls Devin and he is banished from his family home.

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. De...

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 ...
