Ten years after his words were
used against him by a spy in Ring of
Secrets, Isaac Fairchild finds himself using covert tactics in the
follow-up novella, Fairchild’s Lady. When he is commissioned to find a friend’s
wife and daughter and bring them safely home to England before war breaks out
in France, he isn’t expecting Lady Julienne to be so beautiful with such
startlingly blue eyes. Will he convince the two women to flee before it’s too late?
Or will they wait for the impending proposal from a French duke? Will Fairchild
suffer a broken heart for the second time?
This eBook might be short at
only eight chapters and a prologue, but it carries a large dose of sweetness. I
was glad to see what happened to Fairchild after the events of book one in
Roseanna M. White’s Culper Ring
series. Even though I wasn’t rooting for him in book one, I did grow quite
attached to him. Getting a peek at what took place between Ring of Secrets and Whispers
from the Shadows made me feel a little like a spy myself.
The day I was reading this book,
I was on a shopping trip. One stop was a Half-Price Books store. Wouldn’t you
know I’d see a section on espionage while browsing the military history section
for research books for my latest novel. I giggled over the irony of reading a
book about spies and happening across a whole shelf full of books about covert
operations.
It only took me one day to read
this book, and I enjoyed every word of it. It’s a fabulous story that enhances
the series. Soon I’ll be reading book two, and I’m sure you’ll be seeing my
review on it not long afterwards.
Also, Roseanna hosted me recently on her blog. Check out my article here.
Do you like novellas? Do they add to or detract from a series? I look
forward to hearing your thoughts in the comment section below.
