Goodreads Summary

Freed from the clutches of her cruel, traitorous mother and impostor husband, Lady Camden wants to rebuild her fractured life. But the years of terror and pain she endured at their hands continue to grip her heart in an iron vice. Refusing to stray from the refuge of her country estate, Kate tentatively agrees to an unusual alliance with the new Lord Camden, being mindful to keep her trust, and her heart, firmly safeguarded.

Adrien, the Earl of Camden, had lost everything he held dear while working undercover in France as an agent of the Crown, known only as Hawk. Now an earl, he wants only to repair his tattered, lonely life. His efforts are interrupted, however, when he is called to accept another assignment: Stop French spies from passing a bill in Parliament that will eliminate British aid in the war against Napoleon.

When Kate's past pulls her into a web of treachery and deceit, a life she is wholly unprepared for, Adrien must use any means necessary to stop the French spies from succeeding in their evil designs and keep her safe. When the truth is finally revealed, will Lady Camden be strong enough to seize her own future and happiness, or will her heart be too shattered to ever love a spy?

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!
