Book Review: A Spy's Devotion By Melanie Dickerson

 
Title: A Spy's Devotion

Author: Malanie Dickerson

Stars: 4.5 out of 5

Review:

A truly wonderful historical romance set in London during the 
campaign against Napoleon. It has all of the elements one looks for 
romance of this era, a penniless orphan, dashing war hero, traitors, 
bounders and agnst in both the heroine and hero. But as in all excellent
 stories true love will overcome all obstacles.
 
I give this book
 a 4.5 star rating with a further NGS (No Graphic Sex) annotation. I 
would buy and recommend this book to my friends.
 
I received an ARC from Netgalley for my unbiased review.

 Thank you Frank

Synopsis:
In England’s Regency era, manners and elegance reign in public life—but behind closed doors treason and tawdriness thrive. Nicholas Langdon is no stranger to reserved civility or bloody barbarity. After suffering a battlefield injury, the wealthy, well-connected British officer returns home to heal—and to fulfill a dying soldier’s last wish by delivering his coded diary.

At the home of the Wilherns, one of England’s most powerful families, Langdon attends a lavish ball where he meets their beautiful and intelligent ward, Julia Grey. Determined to maintain propriety, he keeps his distance—until the diary is stolen and all clues lead to Julia’s guardian. As Langdon traces an evil plot that could be the nation’s undoing, he grows ever more intrigued by the lovely young woman. And when Julia realizes that England—and the man she is falling in love with—need her help, she finds herself caught in the fray. Will the two succumb to their attraction while fighting to save their country?
