The Gentleman’s Daughter

The Gentleman Spy Mysteries, Book 2

by Bianca M. Schwarz

⭐⭐⭐💫 /5

[Trigger warning at end of review]

Sir Henry March is back and he is still searching for the the illusive Knights of the Snake Pit before they can hurt anymore innocent females in their rituals… and he is also on the prowl for a wife!

Sir Henry is quite busy, he must find a wife in order for his illegitimate daughter to have a proper come out in a few years time. His family is his priority and soon he starts to see the fair Isabella in the same light. She would make the perfect wife for Henry and already loves his daughter, but her secrets put a wedge in-between them and the Sanake Pit uses this wedge to get its revenge on Sir Henry and his family!

This book was a little lighter than the first in the series, The Innkeepers Daughter, but still is heavily focused on the Snake Pit organization and their dastardly dealings.

I was surprised to see that Sir Henry was the hero again in this book. I had assumed that he had made his unlikely match with his mistress in book one and that they would have their unconventional HEA, opening us up to another character in the fold taking the lead in this book. That was not to be, as Sir Henry had to marry proper miss in order for his daughter to be accepted. In the beginning we learn that Sir Henry’s mistress, who is also assisting in espionage now, take a mission and leaves in order for him to fulfill his familial duty.

This book was written well and I enjoyed the courtship between Sir Henry and Isabella. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the Snake Pit characters played a lesser role.

The Gentleman’s Daughter by Bianca M. Schwarz is scheduled to release July 6th, 2021.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Central Avenue Publishing via NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Trigger warning:

-Past rape is discussed

-Beating and torture of females

-Forced prostitution discussed

-Talk of and playacting of rape/ torture

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 ...
