I did not read the details of this book and realize it was a novella. I dived in expecting a full length novel and thought I had pushed the wrong button on my reader when I reached the end 😁 So, I definitely enjoyed and didn't want the story to end. I really like the series, so the title and the cover reflect that brand perfectly. I am a big fan of historical romances and I look forward to Sabrina's new releases.
In this story, Meriel Vyse is a widow who has turned into a spy for her brother in law. She keeps doing what he asks because she feels that she owes him a lot. She doesn't really think she can get remarried because of her work, but she is definitely sweet on Quinn Raines. Meriel has not been truthful about what she does for her brother in law. Humor abounds in this novella. The dialogue and banter is fun and witty. Quinn thought he would try to win Meriel's love by staging a fake abduction. Unfortunately, he did not know about Meriel's spy background to know that she normally travelled armed. But at least she got to nurse him back to health!
I like the female character because she is doing a non-traditional job and getting remarried at the ripe-old age of 27. She bucks the conventions of the time period. Secrets always lead to some sort of miscommunication and it was fun to see how this couple figured out their new relationship bumps. The story has a good mix of humor, action, mystery and romance to keep you entertained for a few hours. I recommend this if you are a fan of the series or if you want to get into a new historical romance series.
