Who's That Earl by Susanna Craig
Love and Let Spy #1

Jane has been leasing a remote castle, as the current Earl has been content to let it sit empty. She's really a novelist but is posing as “his” amanuensis (NOT his secretary) so she won't face the problems of being a woman and trying to get her work published. It also provides her a measure of safety, being a woman alone.

Thomas has been spying for British army for years but is pulled back to Scotland through a matter of Scottish inheritance. There, he finds Jane, whom he knew many years ago.

Give this book a try if you like
-spies/soldiers – the hero has been in the army a number of years and must use his spy skills to keep Jane safe
-second chance romance – this couple knew each other years ago, and shared a single kiss before being ripped apart.
-light steam – this book has nice tension build up and a decent amount of focus on the characters relationship. There's not a lot of scenes but the first well developed and explicit.
-working woman/secret writer – heroine is an author attempting to hide her identity from the outside world

Overall this was a pleasant read. I liked both characters. There was just something that didn't make it more lovable to me than 3 stars though. Nothing really gripped my heart or triggered deep emotion within me. I'm not a huge fan of villains in books and this one was pretty predictable and I just wanted him gone.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC. All thoughts and statements about this story are my own.
