When young widow
Lydia Gale helps a French prisoner obtain parole, she never dreams she will see
him again. But just as the London Season gets under way, the man presents
himself in her parlor. While she should be focused on getting her headstrong
younger sister prepared for her entrée into Society, Lady Gale finds herself
preoccupied with the mysterious Frenchman. Is he a spy or a suitor? Can she
trust him? Or is she putting herself and her family in danger?
A NECESSARY DECEPTION
by Laurie Alice Eakes is the first book in The
Daughters of Bainbridge House. It is a Regency Romance/Mystery which makes
for an interesting story line. A NECESSARY DECEPTION has elements of espionage,
intrigue, and romance.
I found it difficult
to care about or keep track of the characters. I also found the language a bit
stilted. However, I’m not a regency fan so it may be just me. The story
is well-researched and the relationships are believable. Fans of both historical
mystery and historical romance novels should enjoy this novel. $14.99. 352
pages.
