An Adventurer’s Contract by Penny Hampson
4 stars
An Adventurer’s Contract is ebook 4 of the Gents sequence of historic romances.
This story is about in England on the time of The French Revolution. Gabrielle Mercer is a younger French girl residing in London. Her father has just lately died below suspicious circumstances and she or he is at present receiving undesirable consideration from her late father’s enterprise companion.
Jack Ashdown works for the federal government and is a part of a crew who’re attempting to interrupt a French spy ring. He’s requested to maintain a watch on Gabrielle.
The motion takes the characters from London, to Bathtub after which onwards to Falmouth. These have been attention-grabbing areas and I loved the historic arm-chair journey, particularly the components set in Cornwall. There’s a light-weight romantic theme which sits gently beside the thriller parts of the story.
I’ve not learn the sooner books on this sequence, however this may simply be learn as a stand-alone piece of fiction.
