Review
Gray and the King's Elite are closing in around The Boss, the mastermind of the smuggling ring. Can they uncover his identity and bring him to justice, or will Gray get distracted by a pretty face?
I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
This is the third book in the Kings Elite series. As a Historical Romance, it can be read as a standalone; but as a big fan of the smuggling plot, I would highly recommend reading the other two books first.
Lord Graham - Gray to his friends - is part of the King's Elite. When he travels to Suffolk, he is hoping to find and arrest the head of the smuggling ring; and also earn himself a promotion in the ranks.
He is fully-committed to the job at hand, until he meets the ward of the main suspect, and finds he can't stay away from her.
Theodora - or Thea - is a wealthy heiress, and is very shrewd. She knows exactly what men are after, and she has become adept at spurning their advances.
She is highly intelligent, and passionate, and she does not want to be locked into an unhappy society marriage. Thea has become so good at distancing herself from people, she comes across as cold, and she has lost her feisty side. Until Gray comes along.
I love this series, it is definitely one of my favourites!
It brilliantly balances the romance, with the plot of espionage and uncovering a smuggling ring.
Whereas the first book, The Mysterious Lord Millcroft, is still my favourite couple; The Disgraceful Lord Gray was so much fun, and I absolutely loved the supporting cast.
I thoroughly enjoyed the little side plots with Viscount Gislingham; Lord Fennimore and Harriet; and of course Trefor! I had to save the best til last.
There is so much warmth and humour; balanced with the serious moments. I've got to admit I did a little cheer, as certain things played out.
I would highly recommend these books. Next one, please.
