This is the first book in a series called The London Chronicles.
Emma is an American utilizing her talents of observation to
help the war effort. She mourns the loss
of her brother while examining photographs from reconnaissance planes. She meets Will at a bookshop and wants to
know more about him.
Will is a spy. He's
at Danesfield House to discover what's happened to a contact of his, and also
he's falling hard for Emma. He's got to
protect his cover, but he doesn't want to hurt Emma.
This book was a bit disappointing for me. The Kindle version I read was full of
mistakes, but I hope those were fixed before release. Even if I ignore that, the story was kind of
helter-skelter. Parts are repeated, and
the story line gets bogged down by memories and flashbacks. I wish the author had focused more attention
on the spy parts of the story. I think
it would have made a more interesting tale.
The ending was a bit of a letdown as well. I don't want to give too much away, but it
wasn't exactly satisfying. Since it's
part of a series, Will and Emma’s story may continue on in another book, but I
like having a complete tale. I thought
this book looked really interesting, and I wanted to like it, but it wasn't one
I ended up enjoying. 2.5 stars.
*I received a copy of this book from Harvest House through
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
