The Memory of Her

The Memory of Her


The Gentleman Spy Mysteries, Book 3

by Bianca M. Schwarz


⭐⭐⭐💫 /5


The third book of Schwarz’s Gentleman Spy Mysteries brings back more familiar characters!


I was pleasantly surprised to see that the FMC for this book would be Eliza Broad, whom was also the FCM in the first book. That book ended with a happy for now situation with Eliza happy as the mistress and spy partner to Sir Henry March. This, while realistic, say heavily on me. So fast forward to this present book and we finally get a happily ever after for Eliza.


Our HEA is hard won as Eliza is tasked to lead a mission to recuperate the returned spy captive and her former friend, Allen Strathem. Allen has alway had a tender for Eliza, but her relationship with Harry in the past prevented him from expressing his feelings, now he is returned a broken and battered man, both physically and emotionally from the torture he endured from his Russian captives…


Through Eliza’s caretaking and strength leading the mission to secure Allen’s safety a new connection is formed between them. Their shared experiences of past violence and trauma futures their bond. But all is not well with the Russian threat still looming and getting closer to them…


This was the tale I didn’t know I needed. After feeling less than satisfied from the original happy for now in book 1, and Sir Harry ending his liaison with Eliza in book 2 and courting a lady in book 2, this romance was just what was needed! I love how this pairing is on a more equal footing and Allen is forever deferring to Eliza and her competency as they continue their mission. A perfect pairing.


This book was darker that book 2, but lighter that the first book. Still not your average historical romance. 


Over all I was pleased to revisit these characters and for the love life of Eliza to come full circle. If anyone deserves an HEA, it’s her!



The Memory of Her by Bianca M. Schwarz was released April 5, 2022.



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