The Spy Who Loves HerAs the second son of the Earl of Spalding, Christopher Carlisle appears content to do nothing more than live out his life in gambling hells, wild parties, and widows’ beds. But Kit’s scapegrace existence hides his true calling—as a secret operative who has dedicated his life to crown and country. When his partner is murdered, nothing will distract him from his pursuit of … his pursuit of justice…until he meets Diana Morgan. When he discovers the general’s lovely daughter disguised as a boy in a seedy tavern, he’s thrust into a tangled web of lies and deceit that leaves him wondering if anything is as it seems. Especially Diana.
Diana Morgan will do anything to keep her family safe, including risking her own life. So when her missing brother is accused of treason and murder, she’s forced to make a deal with the devil himself—cooperate with Kit in order to find her brother before the French get to him first. Diana must race to prove her brother’s innocence before Kit can send him to the gallows, but as trust grows between them, so does desire. Soon, secrets are revealed that threaten everything Diana holds most dear, and when their lives are placed in peril, she finds herself desperately wanting the one thing she can never have…Kit’s heart.

Christopher “Kit” Carlisle and Diana Morgan did not start out on the best of terms. In other words, they couldn’t stand one another! Lol. Kit didn’t want any woman period but most assuredly NOT Diana Morgan! Diana couldn’t want Kit, could she? After all, he was the enemy as far as she was concerned but, she needed his help finding her brother. The brother that Kit was determined to see hang for murdering his friend. This unlikely partnership begins with all kinds of intrigue and plenty of mishaps that just seem to bring two frenemies closer together in many delightful ways. Anna has such a wonderful way of weaving words together in order to make a most delicious story. It is most definitely a must read!!!! I give it a wholehearted 5stars!!!!!! I was given an advanced reader’s copy by the author but the review is mine alone! All opinions stated therein are all mine!!! Thx and please read this because it is delightful!
I received this book as an ARC from the author. This is the 6th book in the Carlisle series and oh, what a series! FYI, After the Spy Seduces can be read as a stand alone as well. However, it answers a lot of questions from the previous books in the series and all the loose ends are neatly tied up. Anna Harrington has outdone herself in this beautiful novel. This book is full of intrigue and action, love and romance. Kit and Diana are a scrumptious couple, both trying to solve their problems while fighting their attraction for each other. It is the perfect ending to a beautiful series. Well done, Anna Harrington! I will miss the Carlisles.

This is the sixth & final book in the series & what a series finale! I’ve loved the Carlisles’ & will miss them. This was a very well written book that flowed so well the pace never lagged & at times I couldn’t read fast enough. Characters of depth added to my enjoyment. I loved Kit who was nothing like the image he gave to the world, Diana was a very likeable, strong character & together they complemented each other. I love a spy story & this was a very good spy story with plenty of twists & turns along the way. Kit & Diana began with attraction then grew to friendship whilst all the time they were falling deeper in love the road to their HEA wasn’t smooth but it was sigh worthy at times. I do hope some of the secondary characters have their stories.
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
I enjoyed Kit and Diana’s romance. I loved the sparks of chemistry that flew between these two as this suspenseful story unfolds. Tension, drama, danger, action, mystery, intrigue and secrets are blended with emotional turmoil, passion and romance to create a very entertaining book that will keep you guessing and have you eagerly rooting for this couple to overcome all the odds to get a richly deserved HEA. A very good read!
I enjoyed this story a lot. It capture you from the start and doesn’t let go. The story and characters are great, well written and defined. Christopher is not what he appears and holds many secrets. Diana is a strong woman who has secrets also and will do anything for her family and those she love.This story has it all love, adventure, action, betrayal, treason, family, mystery, intrique and loyalty. A fitting end to a series that I have enjoyed and will miss the Carlisles. Recieved an ARC copy and leaving my true and honest review. Recommend this book and this series.
