Goodreads Summary
Born with a perfect memory, Lady Elizabeth Beckett has become one of the world's most notorious spies, despite being the daughter of a duke. She is shielded only by her code name: Shadow. When young ladies of High Society begin disappearing from London, Eliza has no doubt who is orchestrating these crimes; a heinous man she has been investigating for years. Vowing to save them before they are sold to the highest bidder, she must risk everything to stop him.
Lord Sinclair was perfectly content being the second son of a marquess, but when his brother is murdered, he is thrust into a position he has not been prepared for and does not desire. As an agent for the Crown, he is expected to retire now that he is the heir, but he's been granted special permission for one more mission... to obtain justice for his murdered brother.
Used to keeping secrets, Lady Eliza and Lord Sinclair must learn to open up to each other when they are assigned as partners to bring down the same ruthless man and his brutal empire of abduction and slavery. As Eliza's tainted past becomes too much for her to bear alone, can she learn to trust her new partner with her secrets, her life, and possibly her heart?
My Review
Saving Shadow by Laura Beers is an exciting and adventurous read. The good guys (and gals!) are heroic and the bad guys are very awful. I thought the premise of the book was very intriguing and different from other "regency" books I have read. Eliza is a fascinating character. She is strong, brave and awfully good with a knife. I enjoyed her charm and how amazingly smart she was. Benedict and Jonathon were also fabulous characters too. Mr. Larson was an instant favorite. At times, I felt the pacing was off just a bit and some of the language didn't seem correct for the time. Eliza's relationship with Benedict was a wonderful change for her, as he helped her through a difficult time. He is perfect for her, and she is the same for him. I enjoyed the banter between Eliza and Benedict, however, I felt it stopped the story from progressing to more action, but it did help the characters get to know each other well. I was glad that some additional time passed between when they met and after they declared their affection for each other, as their courtship moved quickly.
4 out of 5 stars. I look forward to the next book!
