The Countess Captures Your Heart
Gabriel D'Arcy, the Marquess of Mooreshead, is not who he appears. He's a spy risking his life to save England from Napoleon's invasion. His problem right now is the French Countess, Nicoletta Vilandry. Why is she set on seducing him to learn his secrets? Who is she working for? Gabe is a powerful character. I found him to be intelligent, determined and passionate in his beliefs and desires. He sets a course and is steadfast. Nicky is more than his match. I sympathized with the pain she endured to protect her sister. She will do what's necessary even at the risk of her own life. Gabe and Nicky have a love-hate relationship that captured me and made me want them to find love together. The story is well plotted and filled with surprising twists that took me by surprise. The isolated English countryside added to the story. I especially enjoyed Beresford Abbey and the resident ghost. For me the appearance of the Lady in White was pivotal to the story. I loved Captured Countess. Ann Lethbridge is such a talented author who always keeps me entertained with her passionate characters and fast moving story.
Liked the characters but...
This was a decent story. I liked both Gabe and Nicky and thought they were a good match. It was refreshing to have a heroine who was not only not a virgin, but comfortable with her sexuality. And a hero who appreciated her for who she was; a strong, brave woman making the best of her situation.
However, some of the other aspects of the book were a bit less fulfilling. I never really understood why Nicky, a Frenchwoman, was so loyal to the British. Nor how she'd become entangled with "Paul" her handler as a spy. As far as we can tell from the book, Paul is the only person in the entire spy organization whom she's ever met. And that didn't strike her as just a little odd? This is something of a pet peeve of mine. In virtually every story where the hero and heroine are both spies, it ALWAYS turns out that the heroine has been duped by her superiors and they're actually the bad guys. It's NEVER the hero who was too stupid to figure out he'd been working for the wrong side all this time. And it irritated me to see this cliche played out in this book.
In fact, when you stop to think about it, Nicky was a pretty dumb heroine for someone who allegedly relied on her wits for her survival. Time and time again she was presented with blatant clues and yet failed to recognize them. Like when Gabe appeared in his room smelling like seaweed and clearly not having come through the door.
