Facing the Enemy Blog Tour and Giveaway

 


About the Book:

Lady Elise Henderson lives two separate lives. At home in Scotland, she’s the titled daughter of the Marquess of Roxbury, an heiress in her own right. In London, however, she’s Elise Taylor, a top MI6 operative for the “home office.” But when a devastating accident threatens to end her career, Elise is left with far too much time for self-reflection and the regret of a decision made long ago that features one man: fellow MI6 agent Harry Benson. 

Harry Benson, the son of servants, has loved Elise for the better part of a decade. But life took them on separate journeys until their worlds converged once more. An immediate assignment to the Scottish Borders leaves Harry little time to make provisions for his small, rambunctious son, Sammy. Harry knows only one person he can rely on for the boy’s care—Elise. When Elise brings Sammy to her ancestral estate, she never imagines that a nemesis from her past looms in the shadows, hungry for revenge. Stalked at every turn, Elise and Harry discover that fighting their feelings for one another is futile, but can they survive long enough to get another shot at true love? 

My Review: 

Bravo, Ms. Edwards! This first book in the Roxbury Heirs sets the bar quite high for the rest of the series.  It is fast paced, action packed, and pulse racing from the first to the last page.  Harry Benson has his hands full.  Not only is there an evil maniac after his former love interest, MI6 agent Elise Taylor, but there are also stolen arms being shipped overseas that he must stop.  

Elise Taylor has what it takes to be an MI6 operative: guts, determination, cunning intelligence, and a passion to see justice served.  I admired her because she never quit, even when she was injured and had to flee with Harry’s rascally son into the woods of Scotland.  Having Elise and Harry team up had me turning pages and sitting on the edge of my seat. 

The special weapon that Harry got to use reminded me of the gadgets that James Bond has in his arsenal when he went on missions.  There was such a great scene that had me cheering as Harry uses everything he has to fight against evil. ( No spoilers, but I will say that you will love reading it.)

I highly recommend this book if you like clean romantic suspense. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. Thank you to NetGalley and Covenant Communications for providing the digital ARC. A positive review was not required.
