Book Review: The Gentleman Spy by Erica Vetsch
My Thoughts:
The Gentleman Spy is a beautiful story of redemption, love, and courage. I LOVED the heroine, who always has her nose in a book and has a tendency to speak her mind, a trait that her hero finds endearing. If you are a fan of Regency Romance and of Zorro, you HAVE to read The Gentleman Spy. Full of swashbuckling romance! |
My Rating:
FIVE STARS! Action-packed! Great world building! Haunting! Happily Ever After! Page-turner! Romantic! Tear-jerker! Tragic! Unpredictable! Witty! Wonderful characters!
He only wanted a duchess for a day–but she’s determined to make it a marriage for life
When his father and older brother suddenly pass away, the new Duke of Haverly is saddled with a title he never expected to bear. To thwart the plans of his scheming family, the duke impulsively marries a wallflower. After all, she’s meek and mild; it should be easy to sequester her in the country and get on with his life–as a secret agent for the Crown.
But his bride has other ideas. She’s determined to take her place not only as his duchess but as his wife. As a duchess, she can use her position to help the lowest of society–the women forced into prostitution because they have no skills or hope. Her endeavors are not met favorably in society, nor by her husband who wishes she’d remain in the background as he ordered.
Can the duke succeed in relegating her to the sidelines of his life? When his secrets are threatened with exposure, will his new wife be an asset or a liability?
