Romance, clean, period; Series, but stand alone read; mild Christian faith elements
Marcus and Charlotte's story was so well told! Lots of details, strong characters. Second in this series, so cameo and supportive appearances by characters in Book one, along with a continuing back story line. Marcus, strong, independent, and guarded with his work as a spy, is in need of a wife, and Charlotte, intellectual, caring, beautiful (although not obvious in the way her father allows her to dress and groom), needs to marry soon, and hopefully someone she can remotely respect and care for. Something happens and Marcus, the new Duke of Haverly, steps in to rescue Charlotte. It seems a fit for them both. Misunderstandings, the press of Marcus' work with the war department as a spy, pulls him away, and Charlotte makes her own priorities with social causes. The machinations, back story, and strong side characters, along with the lush period setting made this a perfect read for me. E.V. is now one of my go-to authors. Can't wait for the next book in this series!

Regency Christian Romance
Note: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in return for my honest opinion.The Gentleman Spy was a very interesting look at Marcus Haverly, who was introduced in the first book in the series. Much like in The Lost Lieutenant, Marcus finds himself thrown into a position he was not eager to take - his father and elder brother died unexpectedly and he is now the Duke of Haverly. With this new position comes responsibility to the country, his family, and to producing a male heir. But what about this work as a spy for the government? Will he be able to keep all the different parts of his life - his work as a spy, his friendships, his care and concern for the women who suffer in London, his religious beliefs, and finally his new marriage - in separate boxes?I really enjoyed how the author, Erica Vetsch, explored the idea that one cannot separate the different parts of their lives into different boxes or compartments. Marcus must let God, his wife, his family, his work, and his friends into his entire life. Everything works together for the betterment of those whose lives he touches. I also appreciated how Vetsch touches upon the dangers of the women who were the lovers of the rich as well as those who were prostitutes both in fancy houses and on the streets of 19th century London. The leading female, Charlotte, is not just a simpering female but one who finds herself caught up in an important cause to help the women she can help live a better life.I enjoyed reading more about characters first introduced in The Lost Lieutenant as well as meeting new individuals in The Gentleman Spy. If you enjoy Christian Romances and historical fiction, this may be the perfect book for you.
