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?
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Saving Shadow was my very first historical fiction novel and I am kicking myself for taking so long to read this! I devoured it! The suspense was on point the love was sweet and I am currently referring to myself as Lady Joy. (only in my head)
“No, you are not just a woman. You are Shadow, a spy that drives fear into the hearts of men in every country. Some people consider Shadow a myth, a legend if you will.”
Eliza is a bit of a peculiar woman for the 1900’s but the best kind of peculiar. She is brilliant and the most accomplished spy in England. In the time period Saving Shadow is set, women are not supposed to hold such positions, especially a noble woman.
Lord Benedict was simply to die for. Although he was very frustrating at times, for me as a modern woman. He was simply adorable and sweet, and I loved how he would kiss and hold her her. I turned me to mush.
My favorite bits were with Eliza’s right and hand man and her brother, when ever Eliza and Benedict were showing affection. Their reactions had me giggling.
Not only did I love the romance and laugh throughout this entire novel, but I was suspended in anticipation not sure what direction the story would go from one page to the next! I would hazard to say that if you are a fan of romantic suspense, Saving Shadow is a must read.
If you love romantic suspense, you should check out The Corrupted Hearts Series by Tiffany Snow!
