For Love of the Earl

Written by Jessie Clever

Narrated by Rachael Beresford

Sarah Black, Countess of Stryden and acclaimed spy for the British War Office, kidnapped by the French and imprisoned on a ship in the English Channel, has but one complaint: having to share a prison cell with her husband.

Forced into the marriage to help her carry out missions as a female spy, Sarah struggles with accepting her position as a member of high society, a position that seems ill-gained in relation to her lowly birth. The fact that she is secretly in love with her husband, the earl, does not help matters at all.

Alec Black, Earl of Stryden, and brilliant spy for the British War Office, cannot speak to his wife, which makes for a rather uncomfortable imprisonment. Unable to grasp the reason for his wife’s utter disdain for him, four years of marriage has brought him no closer to knowing how to make Sarah love him.

But when the deadly game of espionage threatens their chance at a future together, the only thing left to understand is love.

Reviews for For Love of the Earl

[Jane Engelhardt · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This series is quite good. Not amazing but quite good. I enjoyed the prequel and now books 1 and 2. This book 2 is interesting in that it jumps back and forth among long past, medium past, present, recent past. It is not hard to follow and is an intriguing construct. The hero and heroine are, sadly, a bit annoying. I preferred the H and H in prequel and book 1. Hero is a bit to sappy and desperate and heroine is a bit over defended and hits out a lot. But in spite of that it was an enjoyable ride and I’m on to book 3. It is nice to get away from all the ton stuff (ballrooms and gossip and debutants) and all of these novels are more about “real” people — not really but realer than the debutantes and dukes that usually populate regency romance. Worth a read through the series in my opinion.
