Game of Spies by Pamela Mingle
Spies in Love #2

Gavin Cade is at loose ends and looking for “more” when Ryder approaches him with an opportunity to spy on Mary, Queen of Scots. He thinks a bit and knowing what he knows decides to take the offer. He is on the spot when Isabel Tait arrives as Mary’s new lady in waiting. Isabel is eager to be away from home and thus didn’t hesitate to take the position when it was offered. At 25 years of age she is “on the shelf” and a “burden” to her mother. Gavin, a widow who was cuckolded then lost his wife in childbirth, is not willing to trust again but interested in helping his country root out treason.

This book has intrigue, plots aplenty, attempted murder, accomplished murder, romance and more. I enjoyed the book and feel it was a bit more believable than the first book in the series. This book was based in fact and informative. I look forward to reading book three when it comes out.

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing-Amara for the ARC – This is my honest review.

3-4 Stars ( )

Game of Spies by Pamela Mingle is Book 2 in
"The Spies in Love" series, which can be read as a stand alone. Books in the series thus far:
Book 1 "Mistress Spy"
Book 2 "Game of Spies"

Well written and well excuted, with history and fiction interwoven together to make a conflicting, and compelling story. The plot will pull you in from the first page to the last. The characters are charming, engaging and believable.

Follow, Isabel Tait and Gavin Cade, whose on a mission to spy on Mary Queen of Scots. Isabel is shy, sweet, innocent and one of Mary's
lady-in-waiting. She also has grit, strength and backbone, especially when she believes what in Mary Queen of Scots, as told her.
An exciting, story of spies, romance, secrets, conflict, betrayal, finding love and a HEA. There are twists and turns, a few surprises and a heroine who has backbone and strength and of course, a brawn, hero who is determined to learn, whose involved in the plot to dethrone the Queen of England.
Readers will get a glimpse into Mary Queen of Scots, as she is used as a pawn against Elizabeth, Queen of England.

I enjoyed GAME OF SPIES, the characters and the plot. There are a lot of characters involved in this story, and the reappearance of Nicholas Ryder, from MISTRESS OF SPIES. If you enjoy steady paced Regency Romance, with a beautifully written plot, spies, and love, GAMES OF SPIES, is a great read.
Great read!
