From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Behind the Marquess's Mask (The Lords of Whitehall, #1) . . .
Mystery. Intrigue. Twist. Turns. Action. Adventure. Humor. Romance. And then there was more. I had a great ball reading this historical mystery romance or romance mystery. I guess its all in the way you look at it. I was not left wanting. I got what I was looking for and much more. I got this book yesterday and I did not stop till I finished it this morning.
There are more eloquent words to describe being introduced to a new author with a debut book into a new series, but I guess they are not coming to me at this point. I have to say this clearly. I loved, Loved, LOVED. This read immensely. If you have read my reviews before. I absolutely despise giving away the story. This time is no exception.
This Marquess and Lady have something for you and you will not be remiss for taking what it is they have to offer you on this journey. A deadly, expert spy pits his heart in the arena with a lovely, tempting, alluring lady with gaps in her memory. The adventure will take you through many levels of mystery, intrigue, humor, and romance.
Grab yours today and enjoy it to the last page. I could not put it down once I began. Kristen McLean has a historical hit on her hands. And I for certain an eagerly awaiting the next in this series.

Even the mask of an expert spy is no defense against his own heart.
With
a reputation as dark as his appearance, Greydon Sharpe, the Marquess of
Ainsley, ought to have been the last agent assigned to the daughter of a
well-respected Member of Parliament. However, when she is brutally attacked and
left for dead, it becomes clear he is the only one with the skills to keep her
alive. All it will take are a few lies to keep her breathing long enough to
capture the villain. Then he can send her on her way. If she would only behave
herself, he might be able to complete his mission before she turns his
contentedly miserable life into a chaotic mess.
Marriage is not an option … until it is.
Lady
Kathryn Bryant, the adventure-seeking socialite, has no plans to behave.
Kathryn would much rather spend her time in subterfuge, nabbing villains and
finding clues. However, when her memory is lost in an attack, she has little
choice but to trust the handsome Marquess. Though she is almost certain he is
hiding something, she is helpless against his disarming smile and warm touch.
Eventually, his lies will come to the surface, leaving only one question: Is
England’s deadliest spy equipped to save a broken heart?

Grey didn’t
bat an eyelash as he stared down the barrel twenty feet ahead of him. Surely,
Bexley couldn’t be that good of a shot. The man’s hand shook something awful.
Perhaps he might get an arm or even a shoulder at this range if he were lucky.
There was only a small chance he would get a fatal shot off. Still, there was a
chance, and the last thing Kathryn needed was someone else shot and killed in
front of her.
“Kathryn, you
need to leave,” Grey ordered softly.
“Absolutely
not!” she protested.
“Kathryn,”
Grey said patiently with a slight tremble. “For once in your life, listen to
me.”
For the first
time in a long time, he had no desire to die, but if he did die, he could not
allow her to witness it.
“No!” Kathryn
spat out defiantly, stepping out into the middle of the room between the two
adversaries.
Grey blanched
of all color as he stared at her, crippled with fear before torrid fury took
over.
“Kathryn,
what the bloody hell do you think you are doing?”
Kathryn
frowned at him as if she was the one who ought to be angry. Then she turned to
face Bexley, who looked more than a little annoyed.
The voice of
reason piped up from behind Grey.
“Kathryn, you
really should not see this,” Nick advised.
“I am not
leaving.” Her simple, quiet refusal only seemed to unnerve Bexley, who was
still aiming straight at Grey’s heart, the heart Kathryn was standing in front
of.
“You don’t
want me to waste my bullet on you, now, do you?” Bexley spat out as his hand
flexed over the gun anxiously. “Move aside!” Bexley stomped his foot to
emphasize his point, and a small explosion rent the air.
