AGAINST THE WIND
By
Regan Walker
BLURB
A night in London’s most
exclusive bordello. Agent of the Crown Sir Martin Powell would not
normally indulge, but the end of his time spying against Napoleon
deserves a victory celebration. Yet, such pleasure will not come cheap.
The auburn-haired courtesan he calls “Kitten” is in truth Katherine,
Lady Egerton, a dowager baroness and the daughter of an earl as elusive
as she is alluring. She flees a fate worse than death. But Martin has
known darkness, too, and he alone can touch her heart—as she has touched
his. To the English Midlands they will steal, into the rising winds of
revolution.
EXCERPT
“Is making love
something you do not wish to do?” he said. “As I recall, you seemed to enjoy it
as much as I did.” Then, more tenderly: “Besides, I have missed you, Kitten.”
“No…I cannot. I am not your…your…” She could not
bring herself to say the word. Their one night together had been a wonderful,
amazing, and yes, passionate experience, but it could never happen again. She
had escaped for one dreadful night into a dream. Into his arms. As much as she
wanted those around her again, wanted to lie with him, she could not allow it.
This was not who she was. Not who she was raised to be.
Placing his hands on her waist, he pulled her
against him. The heat from his broad chest overwhelmed her as she stared into
indigo eyes now stormy with desire. “You opened a door, Kitten, I’m unwilling
to close.”
Our thoughts
First of all have to point out that this book has a beautiful cover. Reagan Walker is a new author for me and I have to say that I absolutely loved this story.
The story was a light fun romance read with a little bit of spy intrigue.The characters were great and enjoyable to read about.
I would have to say that Agent of the Crown Sir Martin Powell would have to be my favorite character.He his tall dark and handsome and at the same time he has a dangerous aura that says I am deadly don't mess with me. On the other hand he is compassionate and loving and found him to be a very funny and witty character.
I also loved Katherine .She had a very difficult life yet seemed to stay strong in spirit.She never seemed to complain and was a very talented artist.Even though events transpired making her husband look guilty she had enough common sense to believe that there was a rational explanation and did not just run off and desert her man.
Katherine and Martin came together under unusual circumstances but, no matter there odd encounter they seem to have a connection which led Martin to search out Katherine in order to make her his .
Once I started on the story I could not put it down .The characters were so intriguing that they had you thinking what is to happen next.The story had a slow budding romance which helped Martin and Katherine strengthen
there bond. Danger lurked at every turn for Katherine making you on edge thinking this poor women will she ever be at peace and feel safe again ?
The story was a page turner for me and had me up to the wee hours of the morning just to finish it. Would definitely recommend this read to all those other romance fans out there.It was my first book by Regan Walker but, It will not be my last will be definitely checking out her other works.
A job well done we are giving Against the Wind 5 stars.And this one goes into the keep pile to read again at a later date !

About the author
About the author
As a child Regan Walker loved to write stories, particularly
about adventure-loving girls, but by the time she got to college more serious
pursuits took priority. One of her professors thought her suited to the
profession of law, and Regan realized it would be better to be a hammer than a
nail. Years of serving clients in private practice and several stints in high
levels of government gave her a love of international travel and a feel for the
demands of the “Crown” on its subjects. Hence her romance novels often involve
a demanding Prince Regent who thinks of his subjects as his private talent
pool.
Regan lives in San Diego with her golden retriever, Link, whom
she says inspires her every day to relax and smell the roses.
