Can the newly appointed Lady of Misrule figure out who is trying to poison the Queen? Lucy was appointment to this job after an unforgettable poisoning of the previous jokester.

I really liked the many aspects that were included in this book. Of course I liked the Greer and Lucy romance, but figuring out the mystery portion during their secret romantic meetings was the best part. I like the orphans and how Lucy took them in, giving her that kind personality. Saving animals was a bonus as well.

I am liking this series so far since it brings romance, mystery, and protection of the Queen into one story. Add stong handsome Highlanders and it's definitely a win!

Thank you to Dragonblade and Netgalley for providing me a copy of this ARC for my honest review.

A brilliantly written, emotional, sexy book, with twists that I did not see coming, if you are a fan of Ms. McCollum, you can't miss this great story

Assassins, Strawberries, a Mystery Romance:
Oh, my what an intriguing story that had me totally engrossed.
Loved the large cast of characters which includes the dogs Pip and Percy. The author captured the intensity and flare of English court.
Greer the highland assassin catcher was a charming heart throb.
Lucy has been emotionally and physically abused and is now a hero of animals and children.
We follow Greer and Lucy through many of the perils the English court.
Queen Elizabeth is celebrating Twelfth night. Politics, murders, betrayals, espionage, heated desirous romance, clever murder plans that made for a terrifying ending, I didn't see coming.
A wonderful addition is at the beginning of each new chapter the author has included factual snippets of the history of the times. I found extremely enjoyable.
