3.5 of 5 starsEmily Blythe-Coston, Lady Averley, is serving Queen Victoria after her husband's death and has found peace within the royal household. That is until Will Galloway shows up. At first, Emily thinks he's just a rogue concerned only with his own pleasure, but the more times they are thrown together, the more her opinion changes of him. What she doesn't know is that he's been sent to investigate her possible involvement in a plot to kill the queen. Will is determined to stay impartial to find out Emily's guilt or innocence. Can he keep his feelings in check for the pale beauty or will his growing attraction cause them both irreparable harm?
I usually love Ms. Galen's books and thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the series especially the banter between the two main characters. This book started out very slow, and I admit I put it down a few times without any "need to know what happens" urgency I usually have reading the author's books. However, the plot picked up at about the 30% mark, and it was nonstop action after that. Ms. Galen does a good job of weaving historical facts into the story regarding Queen Victoria, and that was very interesting. While this book wasn't my favorite, I look forward to reading more stories in The Royal Saboteurs series.
I voluntarily read the advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
