A Spy Unmasked by Tina Gabrielle my review
Review Courtesy of April Hollingworth
A fun and intriguing read this is the first book in a fabulous new series. I found the characters fun and intriguing, both determined and yet kind and heartwarming. They are characters you would love to meet in person. A wonderfully fabulous read.
Opening Scene:
May 10, 1820
London, Viscount Delmont’s ballroom
Robert Ware adjusted his black half mask and sipped a glass of claret as he surveyed the glittering ballroom.
The Review:
Robert Ware, the Earl of Kirkland is a spy in the service of His Majesty. On a mission to retrieve vital information for a murder investigation, Robert disguised as a guest in a masked ball is uncovered by an alluring masked woman, with stunning green eyes and a gun pointed and primed to shoot him.
Lady Sofia Merrill is determined to uncover her father’s murderer at any cost, even if it means masquerading as Robert’s betrothed, in order to infiltrate the Inventor’s Society and find the killer. But soon their attraction for each other affects their investigation and Sofia’s reputation, making things perilous and dangerous, after all the killer has killed before and will again.
Notable Scene:
He flashed his most charming smile. “Careful,” he murmured. “Is it loaded?”
“Of course it’s loaded,” she snapped.
“What’s your name?” he asked.
“What’s yours?”
“As we are both masked, let’s keep it mysterious. You may call me Robert.”
“All right,” she said. “What are you doing in here, Robert?”
“I needed to escape the heat and noise of the ballroom.”
“That’s what the terrace is for.”
“Ah, but I thought to read.”
She glanced at the book in his hand. “Gulliver’s Travels? I’d hardly mark you as a man inclined to read Swift.”
“How intriguing. What type of man do you believe I am?”
“A false one. Are you one of Viscount Delmont’s spies?”
“A spy? I have no idea what you mean. I already told you. I’m a guest.”
His eyes narrowed, and he studied her more closely. If she was employed by Delmont, then she would have known he was not. So who the hell was she?
