Description

Napoleonic France is no place for an Englishman, especially Michael Harcourt, the Earl of Kendal, who is on a clandestine assignment for the Crown. Already injured and facing imminent discovery by Napoleon and Fouche’s men, Michael finds his escape made even more perilous when he is charged with the safety of a young boy who must be spirited out of Paris.

Desperate to escape the terrible fate that awaits her if she remains in France, Lady Gabrielle De Valmont must disguise herself as a boy and rely on the cunning of a virtual stranger—an Englishman, no less—to smuggle her out of the country. When the Earl’s injury becomes severely infected, rendering him gravely ill, Gabrielle realizes it is now up to her to save them both.

Absolutely a captivating wonderful read!!

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for an honest review.
'A Cantata of Love' by Jackii Delecki is the fourth book in the 'Code Breakers' series.
I just wished I had known of the other three books in this series as I feel I would have enjoyed the book even more. The Hero of this story is Michael Harcourt, the Earl of Kendal, who is wounded in while trying to complete a mission of copying a code book in France during the Napoleon years. He is taken to a convent where he is nursed by Gabrielle De Valmont, whose brother has placed her in the convent to protect her against an unwelcome marriage to Napoleon's brother. This story has a ton of intrigue and a great load of male posturing, I loved the story as it kept me turning the pages to find out the 'Who' and the 'Why'. I will endeavour to read the other three books as I think, I would like to know more about the other characters like Lady Hennretta, as she seemed like a strong women who had endured and seen Gabrielle's brother shot in front of her. I will be adding Jacki Delecki to my must read more author's list. This book can be read as a stand alone but would recommend that the other books in the series be read as well.

A very enjoyable book and one that i read just recently. With spies, the plots and the romance, it certainly had me turning the pages. It's the first book that i have read of the Code Breakers and do hope to read the previous books in the near future.

My thanks to Negalley and the Publishers for my copy. This is my honest review.

I am sorry but I could not get into this book. I tried on several different times but it just wasn't my cup of tea.
