About this ebook
A beholden man finds himself falling for the war hero he’s destined to double-cross.
Three hundred pounds for one night of protection. It’s a job offer, but it’s also a ruse. Captain Benjamin Frakes, war hero and de facto head of the Society of Beasts—a club for gentlemen who prefer gentlemen—is tempted to turn it down. But August Weatherby, the sexy, brazen stranger making the offer, has captivated him completely.
August is hardly the flush flirt he claims to be, however. An indebted man, desperate to save his infirm sister, August makes an ideal pawn for a lord eager to bring down the Society of Beasts once and for all. But August’s charge to find evidence against Frakes is at odds with his own virgin desire to entice the captain into showing him the true meaning of pleasure.
As August’s infiltration pushes him deeper into the beguiling world of delights behind the Society’s closed doors, he and Frakes discover new ways to push the boundaries of their own cravings. But with mounting pressure to complete his devious mission, August finds himself torn between the man his heart yearns for and the sister whose life depends on his betrayal.

The Soldier and the Spy by Annabelle Greene Society of Beasts #2 A complex, cunning, creative love story that I could not put down. I enjoyed the first book in this series and this one was just as enjoyable. For the backstory of the “Beasts” it is advisable you read book one before this one though this book will stand on its own. What I liked: * Captain Benjamin Frakes: ex-soldier, hero, founding member of the Society of beasts, cautious, lethal, and potentially very loving. * August Weatherby: charming, handsome, charismatic, down on his luck, being blackmailed, trying to save his sister, curious, capable of great love. * Letitia: August’s sister, unwell, loving, there for her brother, loved by the Starlings, and filled with potential if life goes her way. * Boney: one of the Starlings, friend of Letitia’s, there for August, cunning, devious, hungry, deserving of more than he has. * The Starlings: only met Boney BUT it seems they are a group of youth that work together to stay alive and provide for one another. * That the romance was not “easy” and it felt believable * The growth in the relationship between Benjamin and August – steamy and otherwise * The initiation of the new members to the Society * Lord Maurice Stanhope: intriguing character – wonder how his life will turn out and if it will involve Lady Ploverdale * Seeing the couple from the previous book and finding out how they are doing * That there was an eventual HEW * Wondering which Beast will find his HEA next * Too many things to list, actually! What I didn’t like: * Lord Eustace Harbury: despicable man who deserved whatever fate dished up * Jeremy: one of Harbury’s henchment who was as despicable as his “master” * The laws of the times related to love between men * Having to say goodbye to the characters and having to wait till book two is ready to read. Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more by this author? Definitely Thank you to NetGalley and Carina Press for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
