I Spy a Duke by Erica Monroe
3.0
A cute historical romance about spies. James, the Duke of Abermont, begins to fall for his families governess, though little does he know that she is actually spying on his family, in hopes of providing a group with information in exchange for information on her brothers murder. But the governess Vivian does not realize that James and his family are also spies, and she’s become a pawn in a much bigger game than she thought.
This was a fun story, with all the plot twists and action working alongside the simmering romance. It wasn’t a favorite of mine as I prefer romances where I get to watch people fall for each other, but James and Vivian were pretty much halfway there when the story began. I think this could have had a fun enemies to lovers aspect, but it went a different way, which is fine. It’s a shame it’s been years and still no more books have been released in the series.
I read this for the historical romance readathon
