My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Usually I am not a major fan of historical romances but, the first one in the Romancing the Spies series from Laura Barnes, Rescued By the Captain, was actually a really gripping read for me so I was back for more with Rescued by the Spy. This one was not too bad, but not my favorite of the two.

In Rescued by the Spy we get the story of Raina LeClair and Charles Mallory. Raina is on a mission to find out who is responsible for killing her family. When she finds them she has a particular plan in place for them. Charles is on his own mission to find someone, only his is to find the person responsible for his own kidnapping. He was also left for dead. There is one small hitch to this scenario, he fell for his kidnapper, and it just happens to be Raina. Turns out Raina feels for Charles too but knows that she can’t be all that he needs. Will they be able to figure out how to make a relationship work and to trust each other?

Just when you thought that all was enough confusion to figure out…. BOOM… it gets a whole lot more confusion. I almost felt like these two could have their own spinoff miniseries. For me, this is what drug down this novel and made it a bit difficult for me to follow and read. I am hesitant going into the third novel.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Laura A. Barnes’ Rescued by the Spy is the second book in the Romancing the Spies series; this historical romance follows secondary characters introduced earlier in the series: Raina and Charles. This story provides excellently written suspense and adventure while including a steady mix of tension, attraction and romance. The author sets the stage with scenes that grip your imagination, pulling you into the past as you embark on the journey these characters are trailing upon. It’s been awhile since I’ve read a historical novel that captured my interest as well as this novel/series has. Laura A. Barnes is a talented author and does an incredible job in adding the historical elements to make the story have that realistic aspect to it. Overall, a great story!

Rescued by the Spy is the second book in the Romancing the Spies series by Laura A. Barnes. It is an intriguing and action-packed historical romance that has kidnapping, romance, mystery, suspense, adventure, drama, revenge, espionage, treason, disguises, secrets, and lies. This is the second book in the series, but it can be read as a standalone, although this book focuses on a different couple than the first book, I do recommend reading book one as there is a tie in/crossover/continuation to the storyline. I have really enjoyed exploring this series of period pieces, as Ms. Barnes excels in bringing the past to life and creating characters who are so easy to love.

Raina LeClair is not your typical demure young lady- oh no, there really is so much more to her than she lets on. She and Charles Mallory have an intriguing history that will propel this story into a fast-paced adventure that had me hooked right from the beginning. Where the story leads, and the surprising developments really made for a very entertaining and enjoyable read.

I have already begun devouring book #3, which looks set to be incredible!

 

Thank you, Ms. Barnes!
