Seduced by a Spy

I eagerly turned the pages⿦

Seduced By A Spy was a great read. I could hardly wait to turn the pages. Former students of Mrs. Merlin's Academy for Select Young Ladies were well-trained spies. The highly regarded academy took in orphans from the slums of London. Shannon was one of their former students. Alexandr was a Russian spy. The two were unknowingly given the same assignment. Their employers decide to work together. Shannon and Alexandra are sent to a remote Scottish castle to protect a ballistic expert's family. She works under the guise of a governess, and he works as a tutor. They come to love their charges and each other. The action never stops in Seduced By A Spy. Andrea Pickens captures the readerâ¿¿s attention from the first page and does not let them go until the last page. She uses a combination of humor and romance to stir emotions and engage the reader. This is the second in this series. Fans of Regency Romance will enjoy Seduced By A Spy.

Great book

This book was wonderrful. It was slow to start but once it got going it was very good. I love books about women that are strong. Her Merlins are very strong characters who also have wit. I can't wait to read her next Merlin book. Hopefully its about Sofia.

2nd Merlin title filled with adventure!

For those who like their historical romances to have a bit of intrigue and suspense, Pickens's Merlins Maidens series is a perfect choice. Pickens, who also writes as Andrea DaRif, is a well known Regency writer who has just recently expanded her repertoire to full length historicals. Seduced by a Spy is perfect in every way, as both the plot and characters keep you flipping through the pages. For those who have been disappointed with the recent swath of new releases, this book will be a breath of fresh air. I truly enjoyed it and am anxiously awaiting the next in the series.

Andrea Pickens provides a fun historical
