The greatest risk—for the sweetest reward…
His fiancée's betrayal nearly cost Jacques Laurent everything. Despite his resolve not to trust anyone again, he can't abandon the young woman he finds alone on the road to London. In the brief hours they spend together, the enigmatic Diana touches his heart in a way he can't explain. Even after bringing her to the Everton Domestic Society for safekeeping, he can't get her out of his thoughts. And when he next encounters her, working as assistant to a renowned scientist, he becomes even more intrigued…
The Society's kindness is especially welcome after everything Diana endured in a French prison, but she fears for the safety of those who get close to her. French spies are on her trail, convinced that her scientific knowledge can help them win the war. As peril draws them irrevocably together, Diana and Jacques succumb to mutual desire. But love may be the most dangerous pursuit of all, when a lady guards her heart even more carefully than she guards her life...
My Review:
Wow, I enjoyed this series so much! We did met Jacques in A Lady's Escape, and I'm so glad that he got his own book! And we did get to see some familiar faces, as well as meet some new ones in the form of the Buckrose Horsemen! I'm really going to have to read the original trilogy, though!
This is the first book with a lot of action, because yeah, Diana's past does come around and causes a bunch of trouble. As in, bad things happen, about halfway through this book. It's different from the other books, but enjoyable, too!
Diana is strong, and much more capable then what a young lady of the time was supposed to be like. She was in the science field, and her experiences didn't break her. So yeah, she was a pretty fantastic character to read about!
My one thing is that Jacques past with his ex-fiancee isn't explained. I don't know if I missed it or if it wasn't there, but I would've liked to have had that explanation. Like, who she was, why they were engaged, how she betrayed him. We got snippets, but I didn't get the full story and I would've liked it.
This was a really fantastic read, and I wouldn't mind more of this series, or a spin off series with the Buckrose Horsemen!
