About this ebook

With his facility for languages and gift for diplomacy, Thomas Pearce is perfectly suited for his recent position in the Foreign Office. Or so he imagines until he receives his first assignment. Instead of a safe consular post in a friendly country, Thomas is going to France to rescue Sabine Rousseau, the illegitimate daughter of Britain’s premiere.

Sabine and Thomas must make their escape, and it won’t be easy. Her uncle considers her a ticket to curry favor with Napoleon and won’t let her disappear without a fight. To avoid detection, the couple must pretend to be amorous newlyweds and this proves the most difficult task of all. Because it isn’t long before neither of them is pretending and every night, there’s only one bed.

(Previously published as The Spy's Fake Bride.)

Sabine Marie Rousseau and Thomas Chadwick Pearce' story is book three in the Lords of Lancashire series a well-written book. There is suspense, drama, danger, spies, a human smuggling to keep someone safe, and romance. I hope there are more books to come. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a delicious, erotic filled, historical romance that kept me completely engaged throughout the story. The historical tidbits were perfect for the story and I never felt like it they were dumped on me. I enjoyed the premise of Sabine’s birth as well as the plotline that followed as a result of it. She was a strong independent woman, especially for the time and Thomas understood that about her and supported her in her dreams. Even to his own detriment. The angst level is very low with just a bit of an elevation toward the end but that tiny bit was enough to really bring the ending into a place of sheer joy. Secondary characters are varied and fluctuate throughout the story with only one or two remaining consistent and do not outshine the hero and heroine. The heat level is extreme as in be prepared for your Kindle to melt. I really enjoyed Sabine and Thomas and their relationship. I am definitely going to check out other books in this series. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided by NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
