100 Pages A Day...Stephanie's Book Reviews

The French spy Genet is rumored to be attending a house party on British soil. The agents of the Crown need a married couple to infiltrate the house party, find out the identity of Genet and detain the spy. Eliza is up for the challenge, but it is too risky to have her cover broken. It is suggested that Agent Lord Morgan Easton pair up with Eliza's boarding school headmistress, Josette Northcott for the mission. Lord Morgan keeps up the appearance of a rake for his cover, Josette guards herself closely after her time on the streets. Morgan must convince Josette to partner with him and pose as a married couple for the party. Once Josette agrees, the pair must use all of their talents with a limited time frame to uncover Genet's plan to bring Napoleon back to power. When tension builds and feeling grow between Morgan and Josette, they must focus on the mission. However, Morgan is unwilling to let go of the most amazing woman he has met. 

Picking up right where A Deceptive Bargain leaves off, The Baron's Daughter dives into the stories of Lord Morgan Easton and Josette Northcott. This story is filled with plenty of espionage action as multiple spies interact and come together to stop Genet. I was excited to learn more about Josette and her past as well as see all of her skills in action. I enjoyed the back and forth between Josette and Morgan as Josette constantly tried to prove her worth with her abilities to scale buildings, pick locks and get in and out unnoticed and Morgan tried to keep her safe even though Josette was doing most of the work. The tension rose as Genet's identity was discovered as well as the plot to bring down two monarchs at once. The pace picked up even more with many twist near the end and when all the spies were working together in order to stop Genet's plan. After everything, another sweet and strong relationship has blossomed between spies.
