by Ally Broadfield

Between these pages you will find a delightful romance with intrigue, spies, that are full of chemistry, childhood crush, and delightful fun characters in this well written read. I really enjoyed the plot of young love having a second chance. The book starts off with us getting to know Princess Anna and Captain Abromovich as the author takes us back to their younger days when each loved the other in secret only to come face to face years later both still very attracted to the other. Mikhail knowing he cannot give Anna what she needs with his background of spying and moving around, he tries his best to step aside but duty calls and he must use her coming out to try and get the information he is looking for.

The threat of Napoleon invading Russia Anna father sends her and her sister to London with their aunt and uncle in hopes of keeping them safe. Once he settles things there he hopes to join them. Ann starts her season but with the news of her rich dowry is leaked out she has more suitors that is only after her money than she can handle. With none that appeal to her she is at a lost until her childhood friend from long ago comes forward. She welcomes her old friend with open arms not knowing he is hiding secrets and could be using her to reach his goal she falls head over heels for him all over again.

Mikhail is on a mission to achieve his goal he is under orders to court Anna. This is something he really doesn’t want to do because he has loved her for a long time. His only thought is what will she do and think if his deeds are every uncovered and she thinks he really doesn’t love her for who she is. Will they get this second chance at love or will their love be torn apart?

I really enjoyed this read watching love bloom as these two falls for each other again. I loved the twists and turns in a plot that was very entertaining mixing fact with fiction in a very intriguing story that is well written with delightful characters. I loved how easy it was to like Anna when the going got tough she stood her ground but was still very much a lady that has no trouble showing her spunk when needed. Mischa was not only handsome but true to his cause. My heart really went out to him that he followed the orders given but truly loved Anna and did his best to show her.  This story has such depth from the characters to the plot that it really pulls you in. I enjoyed the supporting characters loved how Anna and her sister got along and taught each other how to be sneaky. They are both a little on the cheeky side which really made them believable characters. I even found a few chuckles and laughs along the way. The author gives such detail to each scene that you have no trouble picturing them as they unfold.  With a very delightful plot and characters it is a very believable story. I can’t wait to see who she picks next in this wonderful series.

Summary

London, 1812.

Ever since a gossip sheet revealed the details of her extensive dowry, Princess Anna Tarasova has been overrun by fortune-hunting lords. When her childhood sweetheart mysteriously appears in London and asks to court her, it seems too good to be true.

For Captain Mikhail Abromovich, who is both soldier and spy, being chosen to represent Russia in secret negotiations with Britain should be the assignment of a lifetime. The terrible part is that he’s certain Anna won’t believe his love real once his deception is uncovered and that’s one risk he isn’t willing to take…ve is real
