Description de l’éditeur
Love, intrigue, and a fresh spin on historical romance make a sexy and suspenseful mix in the latest novel in Susanna Craig’s Regency-set series—as the wife one man left behind becomes the woman he can’t live without . . .
Caroline, Marchioness of Chesleigh, has been married for six years—at least in name. In fact, Caro has hardly seen her husband since the early days of their union. Scarred and reclusive, Maxim wasn’t ready to trust his wife with his secrets—or his heart. Instead, he quickly resumed his life of espionage in France, believing Caro was better off alone.
When the spy who left her returns upon inheriting the Dukedom, he finds his wife is not the girl she once was. Her heart is a little harder. She’s learned to stand on her own. Yet the desire that once ignited between them burns as hotly as ever . . .
Now, the more Caro learns about the past Maxim tried to hide from her, the deeper their bond grows. But danger haunts her husband’s every move, jeopardizing their passionate reunion . . .
PRAISE FOR WHO’S THAT EARL
“Craig delights with a fast-paced, intrigue-filled plot and expertly developed characters. Regency fans will eagerly anticipate future installments.”
—Publishers Weekly, STARRED review
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A brooding spy and his estranged wife get a second chance at love after six years of separation in Craig's action-packed conclusion to her Regency-set Love and Let Spy series (after Better Off Wed). Lady Caroline "Caro" Brent was forced to wed Maxim Grant, Marquess of Chesleigh, after they were caught in a compromising position. Eager to escape her tyrannical father's household, Caro was hopeful about her new relationship—until Maxim abandoned her four days into their marriage, fearing his dark past and physical scars made him unlovable. Six years later, Maxim is forced to return home and take his place as the new Duke of Hartwell following the death of his grandfather, and he's surprised to find that Caro's no longer the scared and innocent girl he married—though she remains unaware of her husband's work as an agent for the crown and oblivious to the fact that her new companion and manservant are also spies. Maxim falls for this new, resilient Caro and works to make amends—but the threats of an unknown enemy disrupt their rekindled romance. Craig packs in the intrigue with twists, deception, and subtle mystery, and the romance between her formidable characters builds at a perfect pace. This is a worthy finale.
Avis d’utilisateurs
3.5-4 Stars!!
3.5-4 Stars!! This is book 4 in the ‘Love and Let Spy’ series and can be read as a standalone. I did enjoy this book even if at times I was rolling my eyes, mostly over the main male character, Maxim, and his reasoning at times. But he is a man after all and they do tend to make some asinine decisions at times. (Sorry, not sorry!) Although considering his childhood, I’ll let him have a pass this time. The main female character, Caroline, was likable and didn’t really put up with Maxim’s bull. I really liked how it was duel narrations and it had bits of Fanny & Fitz’ blossoming relationship. Spy’s, murder attempts, strong women living their lives with and without their men, rekindling a relationship & an HEA ending. All in all, a good read!

3.5 stars
This book wasn’t bad. Not really any heart pounding or exciting scenes. It was a bit unbelievable that a headmaster er spy would matchmake…which is prob why the story is more on the soft and safe side. A nice, pleasant read.
The Spy Comes Home
Caught in what looked like a compromising situation, Maxim marries Caroline under protest. There is a positive for Caro; she gets away from her horrible father. It seems as things might work, for all of four days, then Maxim leaves her. Six years later he returns to England to become the Duke of Hartwell. Will the couple have a second chance for a good marriage or will they go their separate ways permanently?
The fourth story in the Love and Let Spy series is interesting and entertaining. There is dangerous adventure, a second-chance romance, a new romance (probably thanks to General Scott), and a wonderful reunion of series characters in the epilogue for a happy ending.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.
