Three books, three young women, three spies, three marriages. These books didn’t contain any surprises, but they were a pleasure to read. In the first book, Henrietta gets involved with Cord, who is spymaster for the British during the Napoleonic wars. In the second book, Gwyneth, Cord’s exuberant younger sister, becomes romantically involved with Ash. In the final book, the artistic Amelia falls in love with Derreck Brimley, another of Cord’s spies. While the series is entitled code breakers, the books are really all about romance.
4 handsome men working as spies for England- Cord, James and Derrick meet their matches in three intelligent, no holds barred ladies- Henrietta, Gwyneth and Amelia.
Characters are well drawn and real. Henrietta can break code because she has helped her father over the years, Cord comes to see she is not a usual lady of the tom.
Gwyneth must be in the mix of everything and James as a time trying to keep her safe
but in the end he must accept her bravery in challenging ahead. Derrick wants Amrlia out of the spy game she and Gwyneth started to assist James and he at a house party.
He tries to squelch her natural instincts to find out information and it nearly costs their relationship.
The stories are well ormed an their is a delightful crew of older spies helping the youn people along. One I might read again.
I read almost all of them and enjoyed. Very entertaining to read.
Very exciting. Loved it
A Code Of Love
I really enjoyed this. Whether or not there’s any historical accuracy to it, I had fun with it. I found it easy to understand the characters motivations while their actions and emotions were complex enough to keep me engaged in the story. There is a large supporting cast to this book, and I found myself occasionally distracted trying to remember who someone was in terms of the grande scheme of things. There was enough time spent fleshing out the largest roles in the supporting cast that I’m sufficiently intrigued to want to continue with the series.
A Christmas Code
I enjoyed this book, but I didn’t love it the way I wanted to. For two adults, Ash and Gwenyth spend too much time behaving like love-sick tweenagers. Perhaps it was the short format of this story, but the plotting felt a little heavy-handed and the sense of deus ex machina was overwhelming. Everything happened at exactly the right time and our leading couple knew exactly what to do – except with each other. There was no fumbling, no need to search for answers because Gwyneth was always in the right place at the right time, every time, to learn them. As a transition story in the middle of the series, it’s okay. But this doesn’t stand well on its own.
A Code of the Heart
This was a fun book. I loved Amelia’s independence, but she swung so wildly from a strong sassy woman to displaying no backbone (or wisdom) at all. I may have sprained a muscle in my brain, I rolled my eyes so hard a couple of times. Other than the intimate scenes between Amelia and Derrick, the style of writing seemed almost designed for a younger audience. With all of the madcap running around, this felt a little like a Disney Sunday movie, or possibly an episode of I Love Lucy. What I’ve gotten from this series hasn’t been historical accuracy, but it has been a full-fledged mental escape.
