The Gentleman’s Daughter

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.

While investigating his lead he he discovers that his prime suspect died just days after the stage coach robbery and is the tow’s local hero… not only that, he has left behind a beautiful widow and 2 children.

For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms!  This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me!  ...
