Luke Delacroix
has the reputation of a charming man-about-town in Gilded Age Washington, DC.
In reality, he is secretly carrying out an ambitious agenda in Congress. His
current mission is to thwart the reelection of Congressman Clyde Magruder, his
only real enemy in the world.
But trouble begins when Luke meets Marianne Magruder, the
congressman's only daughter, whose job as a government photographer gives her
unprecedented access to sites throughout the city. Luke is captivated by
Marianne's quick wit and alluring charm, leading them both into a dangerous
gamble to reconcile their feelings for each other with Luke's driving passion
for vital reforms in Congress.
Can their newfound love survive a political firestorm, or
will three generations of family rivalry drive them apart forever?
My Thoughts:
The Prince of Spies by Elizabeth Camden is an engrossing tale against a family feud as the main hero works on against the artificial chemicals in food. If readers have read the previous stories in this series, then they are familiar with Luke. First, as the trouble maker, then he returns as repetive toward his hurts. Of course, Luke needs the pages to tell his story and show his love story. With the introduction of Marianne, readers are introduced first hand to the other side of the family feud. She hands the dilemma in her family with grace and maturity. The romance sparkled from the first chapter with the rescuing of the dog from the frozen water. It kept growing deeper and deeper as the story moved along. As always with Camden's novels, I love her ability to dive into a historical element and make it fascinating for the readers to follow along. I love how the story captures the importance of the Food and Drug Administration. As an added bonus, Camden included a chapter at the end that features all the sibling four years later. Overall, The Prince of Spies was an engrossing tale that I finished in one day.
I received a complimentary copy of The Prince of Spies by Elizabeth Camden from Bethany House Publishers, but the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Purchase The Prince of Spies
