4 of 5 starsDeklan Quinton is the Crown's top agent, and when an international theft of a priceless international crown threatens to start a war, Deklan is assigned to protect Grace Montford, the daughter of the thief. Grace doesn't understand why she's in danger from foreign agents and has a hard time reconciling to the fact that Deklan is her protector until the incident is resolved, but the more time she spends with him, the more her heart is engaged. Can the delicate beauty tame the beast, or will Deklan leave her the minute the assignment is complete?
This was another cute story from Ms. Platt. I loved the opening scene when Deklan first becomes acquainted with Grace. That was both funny and touching, especially with the addition of his mother and aunt in the scene. Deklan lives a solitary life as an agent and bristles when Grace refers to him as a leopard--a solitary hunter who answers to no one. As the danger mounts, Deklan and Grace must race out of London and try to uncover the hiding spot of the royal crown. I thought the middle of the book dragged a bit, and of course, there's the "insta-love" of these two--already in love after only two days?? That's not very realistic, but it is the nature of these 'Book of Love' stories. Ms. Platt has delivered another enjoyable read, and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
I voluntarily read this advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
