If the name Emma Jense sounds familiar, that's because she is the author of several wonderful Regencies. Though this book is painted on a bigger canvas, Emma's characters and story are still sure to delight. As far as I can tell--and I've tried to research it--this is the first in a historical romance series possibly a trilogy that involves spies for England during the wars on the Continent in the Regency period.
There were 10 spies to begin with "the Ten". Some were nobility. Nathan is preparing to return to England the next day to wed a woman they both wanted. But the next morning, they are attacked. Nathan sees Rievaulx hit in the chest even as he is losing consciousness. He carries on conversations with his dead friend, Gabriel, and still suffers from a sword wound to his thigh as he attempts to live a normal, if secluded, life. Then Matthew Gerard, his former superior, arrives to tell him some of the Ten have been killed; Gerard believes someone is killing them one by one.
Supposedly, five are now dead. Gerard asks for Nathan's help, urging him to return to London. Meanwhile, a family of Scots from the Isle of Skye has moved onto Nathan's lands. He hires the father, James MacLeod, to be his secretary. Over the next 6 months, Nathan learns all about MacLeod's five children, including the oldest, year-old intelligent, plain Isobel, who the father credits with keeping the family together. When James MacLeod steals a bag of gold coins from Nathan and Isobel tries to return it, Nathan meets the honest, candid and observant young woman.
She realizes what no one else has--he is blind. It wasn't only his leg that was injured; he took a hit to the head. Nathan decides he will allow Isobel's father to go free and provide for Isobel's family if only he can have one thing--her.
He wants more than a secretary, however. Isobel, by her own admission a woman of too much brain and too little beauty, is a spinster devoted to keeping her wayward family out of trouble.
To Nathan, however, she is beauty, hope, and salvation in one tempestuous package, and he is not above blackmail to coerce her into his world. Shaken by Nathan's raw passion and fierce determination, Isobel's own defenses and stubborn pride begin to crumble.
But can she trust this enigmatic man enough to give him what he wants most dearly of all. From the Paperback edition. Previous page. Print length. Ballantine Books. Publication date. See all details. Next page.
About the author Follow authors to get new release updates, plus improved recommendations. The romance is the primary plot and is supported by a mystery subplot surrounding the attack that led to Nathan's disability, and the possibility that an assassin is picking of "The Ten" one by one. Review: From their first meeting, there was an immediate chemistry and spark between the hero and the heroine, and it was a true delight to watch them interact.
Emma Jensen managed to create a perfect tortured, scarred, and brooding hero WITHOUT making him a total jerk, and actually shows early on in the story that Nathan is a very deep and loving man.
My heart ached for Nathan, who really only wanted so desperately to be loved. He is smitten with Isobel very early in the book, which immediately endeared me to him. Isobel is a true delight, as well: intelligent, witty, and strong. One of the most interesting factors of this book was how humorous it was. The conversations between the hero and heroine were truly funny, and you could see a real companionship developing between them. The way this author was able to combine both laugh out loud humor with heart-wrenching emotion really impressed me.
The secondary characters were also very well-rounded and vivid, especially the hero's and heroine's family members. The only downside is that this book is NOT yet available as an ebook or Kindle book.
What the heck is that about!? Either way, it's totally worth it to seek out the paperback. Completely and totally worth it. I highly recommend that you do! Suzanne Under the Covers Book blog. However, Nathan, Lord Oriel catches her, and offers an unusual proposal.
This was a really lovely romance between the fiery haired, practical Isobel, who believes herself to be plain and unappealing and Nathan, who has come back from war with many scars and a disability that he keeps secret. They were both such likable characters and I enjoyed watching them fall in love.
What I enjoyed most about the romance was the slow build, you could see their growing affection for one another it doesn't all happen straight away. And although they are passionate with eachother, you can also see their friendship aswell. There was also a mystery and intrigue element to this book as someone is trying to kill Nathan. Although this seems a small part of the book, it does act as a catalyst for a couple of events between Isobel and Nathan.
The only thing I didn't like about this book was the men in Isobel's family. I don't care how patient and loving you are, three selfish alcholics in one family is too much. No one could cope with that with such affection and good grace.
Or maybe that is just me showing a selfish strea!. But when ever her brothers or fathers did something stupid yet again and she just forgave them, it bugged me. But I really enjoyed this book, it was a sweet romance with two interetsing characters. I will definately be seeking more of Emma Jensen's books out. I'm not usually a big fan of spy plots but I can live with this one. Had to shelf this one too I may pick this one back up later on when I'm in a different frame of mind.
But for now DNF. The 2 main characters were pretty good, but the other characters were bad, especially the heroine's father and brothers who were just too stupid to live. The spy plot made no sense at all. It just seemed to be a device to put the hero in some sort of peril so he would have to do heroic deeds and discover the friend he thought had died so the friend could be the hero in the next installment of the series.
The emphasis on the heroine's "plainness" was overdone, unnecessary and unbelievable. Good grief - a woman's beauty or lack of it is NOT determined by a slightly imperfectly-shaped nose or less than perfect eyes!
Finally, for me the love story itself was poorly done - so much more could have been made of it, considering the characters and the situation of the hero and heroine. Instead it seemed like the day after Nathan discovered Isobel breaking into his library and her father's theft of his money, he wanted to marry her and that was that as far as his love story was concerned. This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers. Show full review. I tried to be really nice with my rating..
This is one of those books that I would recommend to others and I would still be interested in reading more from this series but would still rate as "it was okay". The positives: the hero and heroine relationship was written beautifully, with major play on words and meaning and analogies that flowed very nicely. The book is written well, so it gives me hope to read more from this author in the future. The negatives: a very major issue I had was with the heroine's attitude toward her family I don't understand why she allows the men in her family to keep spending money while they pretty much live in poverty.
The worst is when she finds out that although the hero says he's blind he's not completely blind so he's been able to see some of her features, and she gets sooo sad that she runs away from him!
The hero was a character I was confused by a little because from our perspective we always saw him as a woobie but our heroine keeps thinking he's got a cold and angry side.
We don't actually get into the hero's head when he's not in a good mood so I never understood why she thought he was a cold person. Sure he forced her to work for him, but that's kinda weird, not evil if you think about it, and he never really does anything mean so I just don't see it. I dunno Oh boy Let me start telling you that it's not a boring one. I started yesterday and was obligated to keep reading. The writing is perfect and will never tire you.
The main characters are so charming! If you are used to stupid girls that talk about hair and dress this heroine is not for you. Isobel MacLeod is Scotch, never be in "the city" London and has the responsibility of the house her mother death left her, the oldest, as the female that rule a house of 2 sisters, 2 brothers and the father. She speak English and Gaelic, and is not a lady as all womans of that time. She is brave, don't care about society rules in the country such thing doesn't exist and the last thing she search is a husband.
The hero is what you want to find in a romance. He is rich veeeeeeeeery rich , tormented veteran of the Napoleonic war, and badly injured and has a high sense of honor. The story is addicting! I can say a little or will spoil the fun of this book. Lord Oriel was raised in a society that don't forgive weakness, so back from war he don't go meet his family, but stay at their country mansion. There he can recover, and obviously, keep living in deception.
Everyone can see his leg injure, so using a can to walk he can disguise his great weakness He will fool everyone, but Isobel yes, I told you before After some facts I can say more they will agree to a arranged marriage.
He need her sight, she need to provide for her family and defend her father honor , so the marriage is done! So, with this quick start the story became also funny when they go to London, and she will meet his family and mysterious someone is trying to kill Lord Oriel, and he want to investigate. The romance is, well, romantic Sorry, but true Forget long piano playing scenes where the heroine of historical romance play Mozart So tell me, how can two vivid characters as Isobel and Oriel could be syrupy?
I recommend this book to all historical romance readers that seek a great and funny story. Enjoy it! I really like the romance in this book. Interaction between Nathan and Isobel was filled with witty conversation and growing attraction. The falling in love was believable, because they were intrigued with each other personalities as well as physically. The spy thing was a nice mystery although the red herring was a bit obvious.
What dampened this book for me is Isobel's father and brothers. At first it was fun and giggles reading about their drunken antics, but it gone sour fast. Especially, the callous way they're dealing with Nathan's request to trade Jamie with Isobel. They're giving her away with only half hearted attempt on challenging Nathan on a duel.
They don't care about her well being and reputation, only set about saving their own asses. They're selfish and shameless. And Isobel always find excuses to forgive them.
Not cool. I mean yes they're family, but they're adults, let them be held responsible for their actions. Otherwise, it's a nice journey of finding love. And Nathan was adorable. Nathan, the Marquess of Oriel returns from a war assignment practically blind. He meets Isobel, a Scottish redhead who is fiery but warm-hearted.
Both characters were witty and it was great to watch them interact and fall in love. A great regency romance between two wonderful characters, no stupid misunderstandings, and a mysterious spy plot.
A fun read, one that kept me interested.

Nathan cursed himself as he navigated the foyer of the Winslow townhouse. Witless, foolish, idiot! He had no idea what had possessed him to create this particular plan.
It had seemed such a good idea at the time. Now, as he gripped his walking stick with unnecessary force and hoped he would not encounter anyone requiring more than a polite nod, he tried to remember if Lady Winslow was the sort to fill her house with ridiculous china objects and chattering, prying people.
Yes, he thought, she was. Damn Gerard. Nathan had planned on his superior's being by his side. Instead, he was at present where Nathan had left him, sprawled in his chair, the worse for too much brandy.
Gerard had been coherent enough until that second bottle. In the end, Nathan had had no choice but to leave him slumped behind his desk.
Not that he begrudged the man one good escape into numbness. He had certainly had a few himself. But there was work to be done, and one of them lost to sentimental Full screen.
