About this ebook

Enter the emotional, suspenseful Regency world of USA Today bestselling author Jacki Delecki’s Code Breakers spy series. Undaunted by danger or scandal, these intrepid lords and ladies discover true love as they risk it all to save England from Napoleon’s treacherous designs.

Duty before desire...honor before truth.

 

Miss Abigail Lyon wants an education, not a husband. A respectable match would redeem her family's besmirched reputation from her sister's scandalous elopement, although surely none of the ton's eligible bachelors count curiosity as a desirable trait in a wife. Abbie finds herself confronting an offer that may be too good to be true.

Jack Bonnington is a rake turned spy, recruited by the Crown to ferret out a traitor. To provide a cover for his clandestine mission, he must pursue the very brilliant and beautiful Miss Abigail. The ruse takes a dangerous turn when they discover their secret is at risk of being exposed. Is the heightened passion a pretense or a prelude to something more dangerous? Can a man bound by honor to his country and a woman ensnared by duty to her family accomplish an impossible mission that gives them the freedom to love and live as they choose?

Ratings and reviews

Living under the iron fist of her uncompromising father, Abigail Lyon has little opportunity to explore the world of science, language or arithmetic. Yet she thirsts for knowledge like a swallow thirsts for water in the desert. Abby doesn't know that her tendencies have been observed by her friends who are only too willing to help her explore her hidden talents. Jack was forced by circumstances to abandon his chosen path but finds that he too is being drawn in by his peers who acknowledge his strengths. Having spent much time antagonising one another, Abby and Jack are now headed on a parallel path with a common goal - to catch a traitor. As much as Jack and Abby irritate one another, they are also drawn to one another at a subliminal level, catching them both by surprise. The novel is generally well written and held my interest all the way through. There is some suspense, adventure and certainly romance. The hero seems to be a bit of an ass, but is, in fact, a generous and warm-hearted man who loves and cares for his family. Abby's wings have been clipped, and yet she retains a strong will and determination to break through the barriers imposed on her. She has a delightful light-hearted side to her nature and she wins the hearts of those who meet her, including Jack. The book is a standalone and comes to a highly satisfactory conclusion. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.

I've read the first 3 books in the Code Breakers series and somehow missed numbers 4/5! Loved the story of Abbie and Jack! She's trying to hard to be proper and appear ladylike as her mother and father had browbeat her into acting. Jack was lovable from the first scene when he was interacting with his brothers and his defense of his sister against even her own husband! Abbie was able to recognize that Jack would treat her as his equal in a relationship even after their rocky beginning. Since I missed the 4th and 5th book, I was a little confused at the beginning with the use of Amelia and Abbie for names, but eventually lost the confusion. Thank you for the advanced readers copy. I'll have to go back and get books 4 and 5 now!

Another great installment in the Code Breakers series!! This one is about Jack who is recruited to oversee an arsenal and Abigail, a bluestocking in the sense of her great talents in language and mathematics, who is hired as a code breaker. They had known each other before, but are now put together to work on uncovering a plot and keeping England safe. The adventure begins with a lot of back and forth between the two on differing opinions and finally coming to have feelings for each other. Abbie feels a responsibility to marry well to help put her family back in the good graces of society after her sister's scandalous elopement. But as emotions heat up and Abbie gets into danger, Jack has to save her. Will he find her in time and be able to expose a traitor in their mists? A page turning adventure that will have you holding your breath to see what happens!!
