My Review:
Philip and Sorrel have a horrible first encounter. It truly gives them the opportunity to be enemies to more, and they do declare themselves at war.
I was so mad because the things that Philip were saying seemed so out of character for how we had known him in previous books. However, he eventually redeems himself with Sorrel. And the reader, LOL.
I loved this look into the Jonquil brothers and enjoy the connections from the previous books. I am looking forward to seeing how each story plays out. I found this story to have a pretty unique storyline, especially with Sorrel's prior injury. However, I would have liked that fleshed out more at the end of the story. However, since there are other books in the series, we may learn more with them.
This story had a lot of different elements, with Philip and his partner tracking a spy, being at a house party, and seeing the different family dynamics play out (with Philip's family and Sorrel's). It was very well done and I am excited to continue the series.
★★★★/5
After five years of tracking and capturing spies on English soil, Philip Jonquil, Earl of Lampton, is in pursuit of his last quarry. But at a traveler's inn, he encounters an unexpected and far more maddening Sorrel Kendrick, a young lady who is strikingly pretty, shockingly outspoken, and entirely unimpressed with him. Indeed, Sorrel cannot believe the nerve of this gentleman, who rudely accuses her of theft and insults her feminine dignity. Doubly annoyed when they both end up at a party hosted by mutual friends, Philip and Sorrel privately declare war on one another. But Philip's tactics, which range from flirting to indifference, soon backfire as he finds himself reluctantly enjoying Sorrel's company; and, much to her dismay, Sorrel finds Philip's odd manner to be increasingly endearing. In the midst of this waning war and growing attraction, Philip catches wind of the French spy he's been tracking, and Sorrel inadvertently stumbles upon a crucial piece of the puzzle, making her indispensable to the mission. But can two proud hearts negotiate a ceasefire when cooperation matters most?
