As in the other two
"Lady Spies" series, Jenna Petersen has created another Regency of
sensuality and suspense leaving readers glued to the pages so as not to
miss a moment of a well-written story with unforgettable characters.
The whole storyline of Lady Spies during this interesting period in
history is dramatically different, but then adding aristocratic widows
with unique personalities and inner struggles of their own to overcome
creates one of the most superb historical romance suspense trilogies of
all time.
We left the last book with the heroine of this story, Emily Redgrave,
shot and recuperating after being betrayed by a double agent. The
recovered Emily is given a new assignment to protect the handsome Lord
Westfield, Grant Ashbury, when really, unbeknownst to them, they have
both been told to protect each other. The Foreign Office is wondering
if two of their best agents still have what it takes. Is Emily
traumatized by her shooting and is Grant really over his feelings of
helplessness and hopelessness he experienced after a woman he knew got
caught in the crossfire of a previous assignment? As Emily and Grant
are thrown together to prove they still have the capabilities to
continue as agents, their passion and desire for each other develops
and grows, strengthening them along with their struggling doubts and
discovery that both their skills are being watched and evaluated. Can
they prove themselves as the excellent spies they are, while at the
same time prove that their growing love can conquer all, making them
stronger and even better agents, as Charlie, Lady M and Emily and
Grant's friends and colleagues struggle with their doubts?
The best is saved for last in "Seduction is Forever" and many of the
questions left unanswered in the previous stories are revealed, i.e.,
who actually is the infamous Lady M? It is also enjoyable to revisit
the lives of the other two previous widows; Charlie's other two Regency
Angels, Meredith and Anastasia. There are so many surprises,
sensuality, mystery and fun in this third book. It is disappointing
that the trilogy has come to an end; or has it?
Each book is strong enough to stand alone without reading the others
first; but it certainly is a joy to read and re-read the series in
order! Jenna Petersen's talent is masterful in this series, as well as
her other books, and fans look forward to each one, patiently awaiting
release dates. ......And for a further treat! Don't miss Jenna's erotic
romances written under the pseudonym of Jess Michaels!
