Finishing school failed to turn them into proper society ladies. Now these four friends vow to remain single until they find suitors worthy of their love and devotion...
Betrothed to a man she has barely met, Lady Faith Landon calls upon her three best friends—the self-proclaimed Wallflowers of West Lane—to help uncover the secrets of her mysterious fiancé. Her suspicions are aroused when she learns that he has recently returned from France. Is he a traitor to his country? The truth is quite the opposite. Nicholas Ellsworth, Duke of Breckenridge, is a secret agent for the English Crown who has just completed a risky mission to infiltrate Napoleon's spy network.
After his adventures, Nicholas craves the peace and quiet of the country and settling into domestic bliss with his bride. Until he discovers Faith's deceptive investigation. How can he wed a woman who doesn't trust him? But a powerful spark has ignited between Nicholas and Faith that could bring about a change of heart. Faith seizes her second chance to prove to Nicholas that they are a true love match but his past catches up with them when three French spies come to exact revenge. Surviving rather than wooing has become the order of the day.
My Review:
Man, this book was a lot of fun to read! We were introduced to these characters and their struggles in the first book, with Faith and her friends investigating Nicholas. Well, now there's fall out, and yeah, I really enjoyed watching these two interact!
The first third of this book is them actually getting to know one another, and working out their differences. And then the next third, yeah, that was pretty intense, and the pages just flew! It was so very entertaining!
I felt bad for the both of them, because this whole situation that they were in, from start to finish, they both had different levels of guilt and responsibility. Not all earned, but it was just another issue for them both to deal with, which was great to read!
We also saw the introduction of Mercy's love interest, so it was great to start to get to know him. Between his introduction and the synopsis of the next book, well, there's going to be some conflict there, and I can't wait!
I really enjoyed this book, it was a lot of fun to read, and I'm so glad that these characters found their happy ending!
