4 out of 5

Synopsis
Part of The King’s Elite. Charged with high treason, Lady Jessamine Fane’s under the watchful eye of icily calm Lord Peter Flint. A task this spy won’t be swayed from, no matter how alluring his prisoner! Only, it’s not long before Flint realizes tenacious Jess hides a lifetime of pain. With so much at stake, can he afford to take a chance on their powerful attraction?



Review
Lord Flint is a professional, devoted to uncovering a smuggling ring that could unsettle the English government. Nothing can distract him, except a the french traitor, Lady Jessamine.

I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is the second book in The King's Elite, but it works quite well as a stand-alone. That being said, I'm glad I read The Mysterious Lord Millcroft, to give a little background into the smuggling ring in England.

This book follows Peter Flint, the epitome of an English lord, he is cold, distant, and would go to any lengths to protect his country. He lives by strict rules and morals, which make him unforgiving, but fair (as long as you're on the right side!).
He takes the honour of transporting the traitor Jessamine back to England for a trial. The young woman is beautiful and seductive; but Peter underestimates just how smart and resourceful she is, and how passionately she wants to stay alive. Which becomes all the more tricky as - no matter which side she's on - there's some dangerous information in her head that people are willing to kill for.

 I loved Jessamine, she's so intelligent, and ready to use every thing she has, to escape the clutches of the English. She doesn't trust anybody, and can only rely on herself to keep alive. Ultimately, Jessamine is playing a dangerous game; she doesn't care that her countrymen don't see her as a hero, and she definitely doesn't need a hero to save her.

It was so enjoyable to watch the pair slowly give in to their attraction, amidst a plot of spies and smugglers, and the greatest danger yet!

I found the ending all wrapped up very quickly, as though the author suddenly had enough, and wanted to move onto the next book; but I really enjoyed it. Not quite up to par with Lord Millcroft - that book is hard to beat - but still very very good.
I'm looking forward to the next story in the King's Elite!
