What a wonderful story! I always look forward to one of Ms. Lance’s books. She has such a fresh and creative way of telling a story and making it come alive with her writing. Her descriptions are so vivid that you really get a feel for the surroundings, the feelings of the characters, and what’s happening in the scene. This book was no different. The storyline caught my attention from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down. Just the right mix of mystery, intrigue, and romance. The characters were great and worked well together. Plenty of plot twists to keep you guessing. This is the first book in what looks to be an awesome series and I’m looking forward to reading the next one!

Christopher and Ellen are both determined to live their life the way they want but when they meet everything changes. Even though they fight their attraction for each other fate intervenes as they end up working together to stop the dangerous man. This is a regency romance filled with drama, mystery, danger, suspense, intrigue and unexpected twists that had me turning the pages to find out what would happen next. I look forward to reading the rest of the Agents for the Crown series.
Ellen and Christopher great characters.
I enjoyed this tale Christopher has gone with his friend Jonathon back to England from Egypt. Ellen has been sent to her aunt because she is a bit of a hellion. The attraction between Ellen and Christopher was there from the start but Ellen wants to determine her own life and Christopher does not want to fall in love. There is also an outside their own challenges in getting together there is a villain who is going to cause trouble. This tale has drama, danger, and high emotion. The characters were amazing and enjoyed seeing the growth in them. This was an excellent well-written piece that I am happy to recommend. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
