Sinopse:

Um novo romance erótico de Jennifer Haymore e que com grande romantismo nos prende desde a primeira página. Apanhado entre a Coroa que jurou servir e a mulher que começou a amar, Sam arriscará o coração - e a vida - para mantê-la em segurança.

Opinião:
Gosto de livros com espiões ou agentes secretos. Acho que tudo começou com a leitura dos livros do Langelot , o agente secreto , que depois me levou para os livros da Patricia e ao mesmo tempo para os do Mistério da Enid Blyton. Mistério, com romance e aventura à mistura é do que mais gosto. E este livro tem isso. Vá, Sam não se descreve como um "espião" , mas como uma agente da Coroa Britânica. E logo isso me atraiu.

Portanto , é isto que temos neste livro: um romance entre um agente da Coroa e...a mulher do homem que ele matou. Acho que não houve nenhuma personagem que gostasse menos neste livro, o que é um grande ponto a favor. Elise é uma mulher forte e corajosa, disposta a lutar pela sua liberdade. Sam é um homem com um passado e uma historia diferente, que nos atrai pelo mistério em que esta envolta - gostei bastante da historia paralela que envolveu os pais de Sam , e também a sua irmã e os irmãos. Apesar da atracção entre as duas personagens principais ser quase instantânea, não me pareceu de todo forcada. Até porque eles ganham o respeito um pelo outro, e isso conta muito.

Gostei bastante de conhecer os outros agentes da Coroa que trabalhavam com Sam e acabo por ter pena que a série seja "House of Trent", pois isso provavelmente significa que nao saberemos mais nada sobre Carter ou Laurent - a não ser que um deles depois esteja envolvido em mais alguma aventura com a família, o que eu gostaria bastante.

Em conclusão, um livro divertido que me prendeu da primeira à ultima pagina, com um enredo que incluiu romance , intriga, mistério e família - enfim , quase tudo o que me agrada num livro.

Synopsis:

Temptation knows no bounds... Undercover agent Sam Hawkins has devoted his life to protecting king and country. So when he receives orders to assassinate a ruthless traitor, he doesn't question his mission. But Sam didn't know his deed had a witness - the beautiful and mysterious betrayer's wife. Now he has no choice but to take her as his prisoner - one he can neither trust ...nor resist. Elise, Lady Dunthorpe, will do anything to escape her powerful captor - including seducing him senseless. She didn't know of her miserable husband's crimes, but she has secrets of her own, secrets that threaten everything she holds dear. With his piercing dark eyes and gentle touch, Sam inflames Elise's deepest desires. But how could she ever trust a man who won't let her go? Caught between the crown he's sworn to serve and the woman he's come to love, Sam will risk his heart - and his very life - to keep her safe.

Review:
I like books that with characters that are spies or secret agents. I think I began liking them when I started reading the series Langelot, the secret agent , and that led me to Patricia and the series Mystery , by Enid Blyton. Mystery, romance and adventure, those are some of my favourite things. And this book has it all. Sure, Sam doesn't describe himself as a spy; he's an agent of the British Crown. And it attracted me almost instantaneously.

So, this is what the book is about: a romance between an agent of the Crown and... the woman whose husband he had just killed.

I don't think that there was a character that I disliked, which is a very important point for me (if the villain is well-created, most of the times, you will like him - or at least understand part of him).

Elise is a strong and courageous woman who is willing to fight for her liberty. Sam is a man with a past and a different story that attracts us because of the mystery that surrounds it - I really enjoyed the parallel story about his parents, his sister and their brothers.

Although the attraction between the main characters happened almost instantaneously, it didn't look like anything that was being pushed to happen. Especially since they earned each other respect, and that means a lot.

I really liked knowing the other agents of the Crown that worked with Sam, and I actually became a bit sad that the book series is called "House of Trent" because that means that Carter and Laurent are, most likely, to never be seen again - unless one of them (or both) are involved in some other adventure with this family, which I would enjoy very much.

In conclusion, this was a fun book that hooked me from the very beginning, with a plot that included romance, intrigue, mystery and family - practically almost everything that pleases me in a book
