Review - One Thing Leads to a Lover by Susanna Craig

 This book is great! I was excited to read One Thing Leads to a Lover after liking the first book in the series, Who's That Earl. The series is called Love and Let Spy, but the first book didn't have a whole lot of spying, so I wasn't expecting much here, either, but was very pleasantly surprised!

Amanda Bartlett is a young widow, and her wishes are constantly overridden by her overbearing mother and the guardian appointed to her sons by her late husband. Her life, as she sees it, is overwhelmingly dull. Until, that is, she finds an old French book by mistake. The book is actually a very important codebook, and Sir Langley Stanhope, a spy codenamed the Magpie, is tasked with getting it back. When the book goes missing, however, Amanda and Langley have to work together to retrieve it. There is a ton of action and, of course, romance.

Overall this was a great book! Craig does a great job of balancing plot and character development, with both progressing side-by-side. There is some on-page intimacy, and it's done very well. I can't wait for the next book in the series!


Note: I received an ARC of this book from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
