“…there must be something from his youth that would indicate a future interest in subterfuge. Perhaps a book on spying techniques, or a diary with an entry entitled, “Dear Diary, I have recently taken a surprising interest in subterfuge…” Although that might be too much to hope for.”
One of my favorite parts of the book is Kate Noble’s use of the phrase, “It’s just me.” Those three simple words are used so cleverly throughout this book, by the end you will never hear the words the same again.
“Sweetheart,” he whispered, his hand stilling hers, holding it against his heart. She could feel the rapid, steady beats, the life flowing though him. “Look at me.”She met his eyes and saw there only tenderness. “It’s just me.”
I agree with every single thing you say: and I loved the "It's just me" as well. so tender! so awesome. Now I want to read it again!
I'm sold! THis one sounds really good.
Thanx to the brilliant Booksmugglers' review, I have this one and cannot wait to read it. Awesome review :)
Great review Mandi:
This does sound like a lovely story. :)
Have you read Scandal by Carolyn Jewel? While I'm not a huge historical romance fan, it too was a treat.
Happy Reading

Wonderful Review Mandi. I can really tell that you loved this book. I especially enjoyed the "It's just me" moments. :)
'Revealed' sounds like a really good romance. Thanks for the recommendation!

Wonderful review! definitely makes me want to read it (although I have to say that P does sound like a brat!)
Ana – They will make my top ten too! As Shadows Fade by Colleen Gleason is also way up on my list. I adored that series:)
Blodeuedd – I love a good spy story. You should read The Spymaster's Lady by Joanna Bourne.
VFC – My husband now says "its just me" all the time to get a reaction out of me ;)
Nicola – oh yeah she was a brat:) But a likable one.
Hi Mandi!
That last line did for me…so sweet, romantic… I loved it. I don't read a lot of historicals, but this one I'll look for.
Great review and thanks for the recommendation!
