And it’s the fifth book in Lynne Connolly’s historical romance series, The Emperors of London! This can definitely be read as a standalone, but if you want the juicy behind the scene information of what has been found and collected, since it is a somewhat mystery ongoing series with action and call for danger, then do read the first books but then of course you absolutely don’t have to for this book.
If you know me, I absolutely adore childhood friends to lovers stories and this is one of them that has a touch of something different and sweet. Both the hero and heroine has known each other their whole lives but there’s a secret that no one knows about, her birth is tied to the treacherous Jacobites. The only reason why Marcus was sent away in the first place because she could endanger his life, or that she’s royalty. Of course it turned the other way when she’s attacked and he takes charge to bring her to safety.
I loved that this book was packed with lots of information and action. There are lots of charters that you’ll meet along the way, some old and familiar if you’ve been catching up with the series from the beginning but also new characters waiting for their own adventure.
Marcus is definitely a true hero in every sense. He’s strong and have a heart of a protector, especially when it comes to protecting those he love. Viola was also amazing and is surprisingly level headed under stress and tension, most of the time, which was great because I wouldn’t want a dysfunctional heroine being dragged about England over the turn of events to her life.
I adore tension in romances and super love them even more between friends to lovers stories because you just can’t help but want them to just get it rolling after all those times. I thought they were great together, although it start to get repetitive (the sex scenes), I still enjoyed it.
As many of the books before this one, there’s this loose end to the story. Though Marcus and Viola’s romance ended and just beginning, the mystery over the whole series is still ongoing into the next book, with added new information of course.
Lynne Connolly is amazing and her writing just grabs you so I do recommend this story and really, any of her stories. She also does paranormal you know.
