LADY OF INTRIGUE by Sabrina Darby is an entertaining
historical romance that I found unique and racy in all the
right places. While there were a couple of areas that were a
little too slow in pace, overall the novel had all of the
elements that I love in a Regency tale - sizzling passion,
danger, loyalty and fascinating characters. Gerard is my
favourite character because he has such depth of emotion and
as we learn his history and what he yearns for, you cannot
help but fall for him. LADY OF INTRIGUE by Sabrina Darby is
thoroughly enjoyable and I look forward to more from this
author.
Lady Jane Langley values logic and reason over passion and
emotion. Her intellect has given her value in the eyes of
both her father and society. Logic gives way to terrible,
icy fear when Jane finds herself in a devastating carriage
accident... an accident in which she is helpless to do
anything but watch as her aristocratic companion is
murdered.
But this was no mere accident. This was an assassination.
Spy and grandson of Lord Landsdowne, Gerard Badeau is
methodic in his dark, shadowy work, knowing that any
display
of emotion could get him killed. Something about the
mysterious woman and her cool blue eyes stays Gerard's
lethal hand. Now he has both a witness and a hostage.
And if he doesn't kill Lady Jane Langley, he risks a fate
that is far, far worse...falling in love with her.
