The Baron's Daughter Review

Monday, April 15, 2019

To the ton, Lord Morgan Easton is a golden boy and "known" rake. In reality, Easton is a spy for the home office. When he discovers that the well-known French spy, Genet, will be attending a house party, Easton is assigned to infiltrate the gathering posing as a married man. He convinces Miss Josette Northcutt to help him.

Josette Northcutt keeps several secrets and enjoys her role as a headmistress at a private school in the rookeries. When Lord Morgan requests her help and provides her an offer she can't refuse, she steps out of her comfort zone and becomes a spy.

As Josette and Lord Morgan begin to unravel the nefarious plot, they learn that they must trust each other and find that not only are their lives on the line but their hearts.

The Baron's Daughter is the sixth book of The Beckett Files by Laura Beers. I've enjoyed reading this series. It's exciting, romantic, adventurous, full of intrigue and mystery. Beers also empowers her women characters to break the norm and to find their own strength. The book moves along quickly and is easy to read. Josette gradually loses her "edginess" and "bristles" as she gets to know Lord Morgan. She also doesn't seem as aloof as in the fifth book, A Deceptive Bargain, which comes from knowing her perspective rather than reading about her from another character's perspective. It's interesting to see her change and develop into a more trusting and forgiving character. It was a clean, fun read. I would recommend this book and this series to those who love regency books. I can't wait to see what Beers comes up with next!
