Book Description

May 2, 2006
To Sir Gideon Landor, an English naval prisoner, Delphine Dalgleish is a Parisian trifle, as pretty-and as useless-as a porcelain doll, who would think nothing of turning him over to the French legion. To Delphine Dalgleish, he's an ice-cool double agent whom she despises for his treachery.

But these two are about to find out how wrong first impressions can be. In the midst of the Peninsular War, Sir Gideon has orders to crack the Grand Paris Cypher, a code created for Napoleon. Meanwhile the emperor himself sends Delphine on a delicate espionage mission to London. Gideon and Delphine may manage to defend their dangerous secrets, but not their hearts. As passion takes hold, it is time to decipher their own complex code of love.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite novels!, January 3, 2007
This review is from: The Code of Love (Paperback)
I could not put this book down! Cheryl Sawyer truly makes Gideon and Delphine come alive within the pages. I love the backdrop of the Napoleon story and the excitement of the spy plot. Most of all, though, the romance and love between Delphine and Gideon was so real and touching. I highly recommend this book!...but make sure that you have time to spare because you'll get little else done until you finish it!

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful historical romance, May 3, 2006
This review is from: The Code of Love (Paperback)
English naval officer Sir Gideon Landor holds the treacherous Delphine Dalgeish responsible for his capture by the French legion. She, on the other hand, believes that Gideon deserved what he got as she handed over a contemptible double agent. Taken to the French island of Mauritius, Gideon manages to escape.

The French assign Delphine to work in London obtaining information from the loose lips English aristocracy. At the same time Gideon is back home seeking to uncover Napoleon's secret message code. They see each other at galas and though both try to avoid the other, the attraction is like a moth to a fire that neither can prevent. Still each has a mission to accomplish and a loyalty to differing governments at war.

Regency romance fans obtain a fantastic treat with Cheryl Sawyer's complex love vs. war thriller. The story line is filled with action but the center that holds the tale together is the relationship between the Englishman and Frenchwoman, both loyal to their respective countries. Gideon and Delphine seem genuine as they struggle with attraction that leads to love vs. allegiance and honor. THE CODE OF LOVE is a wonderful historical romance.

4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable historical romance, November 29, 2008

This review is from: The Code of Love (Paperback)
The book is a historical romance set in the early 1800's. The historical side of the story is well-developed, and the problems in the story come from the events happening at the time.

The characters are well developed and act in realistic ways. The pacing is good. There is a fun "Pride and Prejudice" type proposal scene near the middle of the story. There are no explicit sex scenes.
