4 of 5 stars
"Traitor in
her Arms" is more suspense and intrigue than a straight romance. Usually
the romance takes center-stage while the setting is secondary. Not so in this
book. Gabrielle McCullough has been left in debt by her deceased gambling
husband and is forced to thievery to raise cash. Ramsey Barnes has a secret
that he will do anything to keep, including stealing a priceless necklace. When
these two cross paths trying to steal the same item, their long-ago passion for
each other sparks again. When Gabrielle is recruited by the Scarlet Pimpernel
for a dangerous mission in Paris, Ramsey follows with the intent of unmasking
the Pimpernel, his final task for his blackmailer.
What happens next
to these two during the Reign of Terror is spine-tingling, edge of your seat
action. No one is safe and because they could be sent to the guillotine at any
moment, they allow their past feelings to surface once again. Their love-making
is as intense as the times and so there is no slow build-up to romance. There
were twists and turns in the book that will keep you turning the pages to the
end. If you're looking for a romantic love story, this isn't it, but if you
like to suspense and intrigue, you'll thoroughly enjoy this book.
I received a copy
of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
