Book Review: A Torn Allegiance by Jen Geigle Johnson



A Torn Allegiance - Jen Geigle Johnson - 3.5 Stars (Book 2 in the Royal Regency Series)

When the man she has to spy on becomes the man she loves....

Another clean, regency romance story! Lady Elsie is a strong and outspoken woman asked to spy on Prince Hayes by her father. Little does she know, feelings will start to form between the two during her spying and she will have to make some decisions and judgements regarding this situation. I really liked the romance that developed between them. Elsie has a Scottish heritage that I enjoyed learning about too. She really did not want to lose her roots and that was nice to see. 

Prince Hayes is in England to help ties with England as the looming threat of invasion from Napoleon weighs heavily on the royal family. His allegiance is questioned when he is seen with a French representative. We see some of the political intrigue play out in the story as details are revealed. 

These characters are easy to love and the story is historically rich. The only thing is I don't feel like I "got into" the book as much as I wanted to. This could be a personal thing for me at the time. It did feel a little rushed between them.

Clean regency romance lovers will enjoy this story.
