Saving Shadow by Laura Beers
4.0
I love Regency books. Add spies and danger and I’m all in. I enjoyed Saving Shadow because of it’s unique premise: a female spy who needs saving. I actually didn’t read the blurb when I agreed to read this. I didn’t want anything to be given away and I’m so glad I didn’t.
I felt intrigue from the first page and it only continued as I continued to read. Eliza had such an unusual childhood and one that has its heartbreaking moments. However, it shaped her into the woman (and spy) she became. What interested me the most about this book was trying to figure out how they would stop that bad guy. The who dunnit part completely caught me off guard.
The romance seemed like a given but Ms. Beers did weave in conflict and mistrust (on Eliza’s part) pretty well. I would have liked a little slow burn before the fireworks between them ensued.
All in all, it was an entertaining read and I look forward to book 2.
*I received a free copy from the publisher. This review is my own, honest opinion.
