The Ten #2

His orders: expose an elusive French spy hiding on an isolated island off the coast of Scotland. What he doesn't expect to find there is another fallen angel.

When her scandalous love affair with a young Englishman ends, Maggie MacLeod retreats to the safety of her beloved, remote home.

Reviews

[Mackenzie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This romance really seemed to fall flat. Characters from Entwined now are able to tell their own tale. The atraction, Lord Gabriel Louden, Earl of Rievaulx, and Miss Maggie MacLeod is gentle and soft/easy going. That was nice. Unfortunately Gabriel's mission itself could break the blossoming relationship. I got bored with the situation and although I read it through, I was glad to read the last words on the last page.

I was looking for a book set on the Isle of Skye for a trip that never happened because of COVID. It wasn’t bad for what it was. Too bad I wasn’t on Skye…

3.5 Stars

This was a good book although not as good as the first one. The relationship between Maggie and Gabriel seemed a little forced at times and moved a little too slow. The book moved a little slow and then the end was a little overloaded.

Overall the story was good, I always enjoy a story about the good girl and the rake. The suspense about who is the traitor kept me guessing until the end.

Going good so far. I like almost everything Emma Jensen's written.

Beautifully written with a strong sense of place (the Isle of Skye). Loved how the author wove elements of the ballad "Scarsborough Fair" into the story.

[Macaron · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a quite decent read but I was disappointed because the various legends and tales of the area take over the romance and the spying plot.

Spy stuff is boring to me, so I wouldn't read this one again. So it's a case of personal preferences.

[Megzy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed seeing the Isle of Sky through Gabriel's eye. The legends and the spy element were well done but the romance was slow in pace.

Did not finish. Even dumber than Entwined.
