Surrender to a Wicked Spy

Olivia Calwell has snagged herself a husband. Her mother pushes her off the bridge into the Thames River and Dane, Lord Greenleigh plunges in to rescue her. Olivia ably saves herself and Dane in the process. Dane is part of the Royal Four and he serves his King. Surrender to a Wicked Spy is his story and he is known as The Lion.

Ms. Bradley has given us two characters who will enchant the reader. The chemistry between them starts from the opening scene as Olivia topples off the bridge. Dane is the “catch” of the season. He is handsome, charming and hides a secret from his wife. Olivia is a naļve girl who finds herself married to a man she hardly knows. She is educated but is lacking in knowledge in practical matters and she is very inquisitive. When they are together the temperature in the room definitely heats up. Olivia wants to consummate her marriage but Dane persists in fulfilling her without actual penetration. Dane is described as physically big and tall thus his manly appendage is of similar stature. How this couple deals with this problem is uniquely solved. Not only do we have this problem to deal with, there is the question of the Chimera and locating him.

Surrender to a Wicked Spy is a rollicking adventure as two people discover what the meanings of love and trust are. Ms. Bradley’s storyline is quite complex but it all comes together by the end. This is only book two in this series thus some questions may not be answered fully but may be answer in later books. This was a very enjoyable and quick read. The characters pull the reader into the story and this reader couldn’t put it down until it was finished.
