I really love this series by Anna Harrington so if you haven't yet picked up the books in the Lords of the Armory series you definitely should. This is a series that you have to start on book one with though as there is a thread that flows throughout all the books - both in characters and a plot line.

This book focuses on the Earl of St. James, Alexander Sinclair and in his search for the men who attempted to assassinate the prime minister, he comes face to face with Olivia Everett, a schoolmistress who is only interested in keeping her school running and finding out what her brother Henry is up to.

I thought these characters were well developed and the story kept me turning the pages to see what was going to happen next. There is definitely more to both of these characters than what they show those around them and I thought Harrington did a great job of revealing their stories as well as showing the impact on their relationship.

In short, if you're looking for a historical romance series to pick up, I recommend this one. There is action, mystery, great characters, and plenty of swoony bits to keep you turning the pages.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the copy in exchange for an honest review.
