THE SECRET SERVICE OF TEA AND TREASON Dangerous Damsels, Book 3

This ornate performance by Elizabeth Knowelden is a rivals-become-lovers story told with humor and a sense of adventure. Alice is an experienced spy who is hungry for her next thrilling assignment. She's finally assigned to stop an assassination but must work with Bixby, another overachieving agent. They pose as a married couple--and as the attraction runs high, so does the risk of failing at their task. Knowelden's elegant narration fits this romance. Her delivery of the banter between the two big personalities is droll, and the romantic tension is steamy. Overall, her performance is well rounded and offers a wide array of emotion. Both Alice and Bixby are presented as strong characters as they move through the natural progression of a reluctant romance. G.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2023]
