The Gentleman's Daughter by Bianca M. SchwarzMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honet review.
The Gentleman's Daughter is the second book in The Gentleman Spy Mysteries series, I've to say that I did not read the first one and there was no problem to understand the events of this story and what did happen in the first book. It's a Mystery Thriller and a historical romance set in the Regency periode. The story was intriguing with a secret society and a fake relationship. The hero is a kind of a Regency 007 secret agent to the crown with more money and less gadgets. He has an illegitimate daughter that in order to be able to have an entrance into society, Sir Henry must marry a woman from the high society but things are not so easy when it comes to marriage.
The book was easy to read with multiple POV's that made it much more interesting and less boring. I liked better the Heroine's character Isabella more than Henry's which I find him always horny! The story of Isabella might be difficult for some readers because she got raped and this wasn't mentioned as a trigger warning. I didn't like the part about the secret society "The Snake Pit"'s subject of the reunions with their digusting activities. That was a big no for me, I don't like when women are used in stories, I can't take it. Also, some parts of the story were not really believable even in a fiction, it looks like everything is so easy to do and solve for our Sir Henry.
It wasn't a big mystery thriller for me, I did like Emily's character and now her interest in her "golden god" would be interesting to see how will it go. The most action packed part of the story came just before an abrupt end.
It was an entertaining easy read that's for sure but it wasn't really a great read for me because I rarely read historical romances. I might be interested to know what will happen to Emily but not the rest.
