I really enjoyed Calinda and Ford's story. Ford is undercover to see who is stealing profits from Her Majesty's shipping company and doesn't count on being so attracted to Calinda. When Calinda starts taking Ford into her confidence about the issues the company has been experiencing, things get stickier.

This was a great quick read and it got me excited to read the rest of the books in the series!!

A unique historical romance with a bit of intrigue. A great gem of the genre.

I really enjoyed reading this book! I think one of the things that made this an enjoyable book to read was the writing style. I also found the mystery aspect of the story to be interesting and fun to read. I also enjoyed the romance between Calinda and Ford Remington. This was all around a great read!

I have been a fan of Laura Landon for many years, so when I discovered The Traitor’s Club: Ford on Net-Galley I just had to read it! Thanks go to the publisher for allowing me to read and review prior to publication.

The Traitor’s Club: Ford is a lightning-fast-paced novella, which I read so fast, at times, I wish it had slowed down a bit. Since this is a novella, I missed the deep level of emotion usually found in one of Ms. Landon’s books. That is not to say it was too superficial, but just did not have the emotionally-charged story I have come to expect from this author.

Lady Calinda Barclave was disappointed in love in the past and is determined to never suffer that loss again. When she meets Ford Remington, she tries to ignore the immediate attraction she feels for him.

Ford Remington spied for Her Majesty during the Crimean War, a bloody and brutal conflict. The queen needs his service. While he does not want to put his life on the line yet again, the prize offered will help so many of his less fortunate comrades who suffered from the war, so he reluctantly accepts.

Ford quickly finds himself losing his heart to the woman he is investigating. While he may not lose his life in the queen’s service this time, he may lose the love of this astonishing woman when she learns of his deception.

Calinda is a likeable heroine, but I would have liked more depth. Since this book is so short, the character development was not deep. Nonetheless, I did have a glimpse of her strong family connections, which helped me become vested in her.

Ford is a hero I could love, but again I would have liked more emotion from his character, so I never fully fell in love with him. I did enjoy his loyalty to his brothers-in-arms, and his strong desire to help the widows and orphans left destitute.

If you are looking for a quick read with a good deal of action, and a clean and wholesome romance, then you will enjoy The Traitor’s Club: Ford. While this book is not my favorite by Ms. Landon, it did keep me engaged. Happy reading!

I liked this story. It was an enjoyable, quick read even though at times it was also somewhat predictable.
I liked both Calinda/Callie and Fordham/Ford, they both were hard-working, intelligent, honorable people. Callie was in an unusual position for a woman of her time but she loves what she does and she's good at it. She pretty much enjoys everything about the shipping business and she loves her grandfather and wants to help him as much as she can. She is also a woman who had trusted in a charming, handsome captain before only to find that he was not an honorable man. So when Ford shows up, she is once again is faced with a charming, handsome captain. She fights the attraction, not wanting to open her heart to him but she finds herself trusting him and sharing some of her concerns about the shipping company.
Ford is torn almost from the first moment of meeting Callie. He doesn't want to hurt her or her grandfather, whom he admires. He's on a mission though and he's not quite sure how this is going to work out.
There is plenty of trying to figure out the who, what and how things are going on. It goes from thinking something is amiss to knowing it. More than one person is SURE thievery is going on. But how to prove it? That is the question that gets answered as well as the "who" behind it all.
There is a romance that develops in the story but it starts with admiration and friendship and goes from there. It is a clean story though, in case people wondered.
There are also good secondary people and they added to the story.

Lady Calinda aka Callie was burned years ago by her betrothed and has decided that men cannot be trusted and wants no part of marriage. She is content to help her grandfather run the Crown's shipping company.

Captain Ford Remington is one of the "Queen's Scoundrels", he has returned from the war and is at loose ends, he feels a bit of survivor's guilt and desperately wishes there was something he could do for all the wound/crippled soldiers that were not as fortunate as he and his friends were. His chance arises when the Queen requests his assistance with the Crown's Shipping Company. Profits have been declining for years and she wants Ford to go undercover and find out why. His reward will be half interest in the company. The money will enable Ford to help those soldiers, so while he has no desire to spy again, he can't turn away this opportunity.

Ford meets Callie at a ball and befriends her - he feels badly about deceiving her, but he has a mission and until he learns more, she is a suspect. Callie is shocked at her reaction to Ford, she hasn't had any interest in a man since her ill fated betrothal. Even though she tries to keep Ford at a distance, she feels a connection to him and begins to share her worries about the company with him.

As they work together to figure out who is stealing from the company and how, they fall in love. Ford can never seem to find the right time to tell Callie about his mission and knows the longer he waits, the harder it will be for her to forgive him.

Things come to a head and when Callie finds out the truth, she shuts him out. She refuses to talk to him, listen to him or read his letters. Up until this point, I though this was a 5 star read - but the way she acted turned me off and I had a hard time liking her after that. She came across as a hypocrite since she was also keeping secrets from her family and especially from her grandfather. She assumed the worst about Ford and steadfastly refused to believe she might be mistaken.

She does redeem herself (sort of) but for me, it was too little, too late.

The book is well written, interesting, moves at a steady pace, has very mild love scenes (kissing only), great secondary characters and a decent mystery. I loved Ford, from the first page to the last and I look forward to reading the other "traitors" stories.

Captain Fordham Remington has survived countless dangerous missions fighting the foreign enemies of the Queen while maintaining his cover as a traitor to the Crown. His next mission seems to be a less violent assignment of finding out who is stealing from Her Majesty’s shipping company. Lady Calinda Barclave has been working alongside her grandfather to run the shipping company he owns with the Queen. She’s noticed that for the last year the profits have decreased and she turns to the dashing Captain Remington for help. Lady Calinda has sworn off men, her finance betrayed her, but when she meets Ford he turns her world upside down. Ford begins to care for Calinda and starts worrying how she will feel about his ultimate betrayal. Will he be able to win Calinda's trust and her heart again or is it too late for them? This is a novella and a fast read with action, romance and mystery.
I voluntary read this eBook from Net Galley and the publisher and this is my honest opinion

I read this book in a single sitting. Intrigue, romance, and danger kept me on my toes and kept me pushing to figure out the mystery. I loved this book and will be on the lookout for more from Laura Landon.

A great quick and easy read i enjoyed this book found myself sucked in right from the start a great little book with super characters and a really good plot.Cant wait for more.

While Laura Landon is an author that I have not read before, I was on the lookout for her works and delighted to find The Traitor’s Club: Ford on netgalley. She and I will both be attending the Historical Romance Reader Retreat this year, so I was hoping to read some of her works before that event. I was excited to be sent an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

And, honestly, I really enjoyed this story! I normally have a problem with novellas, and this book is very short - only 122 pages. I easily read it during a long flight. But, it worked well! You get enough of a plot, mystery, and adventure that, by the end, you really get to know everyone, including the secondary characters. The romance is kept fairly PG, which works with the condensed timeline and novella length. And, because the reader fully understands the mental capacities and motivations of Ford and Callie, you can’t help but to root for their happy ending.

As for the story, it is fun! While it is a novella, there is a lot of action and adventure packed into the story. The pacing is fast – I was never bored – and while the mystery wasn’t overly complicated, it was still fun to see how things would unfold. I liked that this book was set after the Crimean War, but felt some of the language when Callie and Ford were talking or thinking about the plight of the war veterans/widows/orphans was a little awkward and heavy handed (hence losing one star).

In general, I liked this book and can recommend it as a fun, clean, novella and a delightful way to pass a few hours. I look forward to the next story in the series!

This enticing story captured my imagination and my sympathy for those that had returned from the wars broken and destitute, I really felt for them especially the shabby way the Crown treated them after returning broken in mind and body. The people the very people and their way of life they sacrifice and fought to preserve. Through the act of investigating a theft from the Crown shipyards, Ford found love when he thought he was too jaded to ever be rewarded with such a blessing, as for Callie she never expected to feel so deeply again but love knows no boundaries. It took some time to follow the trail of clues that lead to the thief, never expecting it to end up with a very close family friend, it seems jealousy, that green-eyed monster knows no boundaries as well.

I have read many stories by Laura Landon so I was thrilled to read “The Traitor's Club: Ford”. This was a move away from “Ransomed Jewels” which I loved. The story focuses on Captain Remington, known as Ford, who has returned with three other members of The Traitor’s Club. This is a club, contrived to disperse any notion of them working as spies for Her Majesty. On his return from war, he is sought out to uncover the loss of funds from Her Majesty’s shipping company, currently half owned by Admiral Barclave.
However, Ford soon realises that Lady Calinda Barclave, the granddaughter of the Admiral, who works for the shipping company, is aware of the situation. Together they join forces to uncover the perpetrators of the crime.
This was a fast paced story with great character development. Ms Landon had me captivated from the start. I look forward to reading about the three other members of this club, in the future.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Loved it! I really enjoyed reading it, I was anticipating the moment when everything would go down and I loved the author for the way the hero and the heroine dealt with the situation and found their way back to each other.

Ohh, I really really loved this book. Okay, I already knew (at least I hoped that I knew) that I'd like it because I haven't found a book by Laura Landon yet that I didn't like and several of her books are part of those that I re-read regularly.
As this is a new series I was curious to see who I'd meet here and I must say that I loved those characters a lot. As usual they are interesting and strong characters , a strong and independent heroine who succeeds in a position where women were rarely accepted in those times and a hero who respects and supports her.

When Captain Fordham Remington investigates the thefts at Her Majesty’s Crown Shipping Company, he is impressed by the young woman who works alongside her grandfather there and who is the de facto leader of the company. When those two work together to find the thief, they find that there might be something more between them. Things get tough and their feelings an't be denied anymore - except for this teeny tiny part where Lady Calinda Barclave might get the impression that Ford has betrayed her. An impression that it not entirely false, truth be told so in the end, Ford might face an even greater challenge than tracking down a thief. Will he be able to win Callinda's trust and her heart again or is it too late for them?

What I really loved about this book was the way the author dealt with this betrayal and its consequences. I hope that I don't spoil anything for other readers when I say that I can guarantee a very nice HEA? So, I think it is safe to mention that early on I anticipated the confrontation when Calinda would inevitable find out about the betrayal or you could rather say that I dreaded this confrontation. Waiting for it, dreading it for quite some time while reading the book, I was really happy with the way the author let the hero and the heroine deal with the situation and the way she let them find their way back to each other.
All in all this is again a wonderful book that I'll definitely re-read and I'm really looking forward to the other books in this series!

I found the story to be good for the most part. Interesting.

4.5 stars
Captain Fordham Remington has survived countless dangerous missions fighting the foreign enemies of the Queen as a spy whilst maintaining his cover as a traitor to the Crown. Now he undertakes the far less threatening assignment of finding out who is stealing from Her Majesty’s shipping company which is half owned by Admiral Barclave.
Lady Calinda Barclave has worked alongside her grandfather, Admiral Barclave, to run Her Majesty’s Crown Shipping Company for four years. She meets Ford at a ball & they are immediately drawn to one another. Callie’s unable to discover who is behind the company’s shortage in profits; she turns to the dashing Captain Remington for help.
A well-written novella that I was loathe to put down. The characters are very well portrayed & have a depth of character not often seen in stories of about a hundred pages. Ford & Callie are very likeable & their attraction is apparent from their first meeting. The story is fast paced & the plot had me turning the pages to find out whom the villain was. There were a couple of loose ends I would have liked to have seen resolved. I look forward to the other members of the Traitor’s Club having their stories
