Book Description
Gripping Sophomore Novel from a Rising Historical Romance Talent
With Britain caught up in WWI, Jack Benningham, heir to the Earl of Stonebrooke, has declared himself a conscientious objector. Instead, he secretly works for the Crown by tracking down German spies on British soil, his wild reputation and society status serving as a foolproof cover.
Blinded by patriotism and concern for her brother on the front lines, wealthy suffragette Grace Mabry will do whatever it takes to assist her country's cause. When she sneaks into a posh London masquerade ball to hand out white feathers of cowardice, she never imagines the chain of events she'll set off when she hands a feather to Jack.
And neither of them could anticipate the extent of the danger and betrayal that follows them--or the faith they'll need to maintain hope.

My Review
I couldn’t
contain the enthusiasm when I first heard that Kate Breslin was coming out with
another book. I squealed when I ordered it seven months later. I jumped for joy
when it arrived in my mailbox (silently thanking the Lord the mailman didn’t
bend it, stuffing it in my mailbox!) It’s taken me longer to around to reading
it sadly, but it was more than worth the wait!
Grace is
such a wonderfully believable character. Innocent yet admirable, she sets out
to do her part in the war effort as a suffragette, to support her twin brother
who is fighting overseas. That’s how she meets Jack Benningham. Dressed as
Pandora, Grace and her maid crash a wealthy ladies lavish Masquerade ball to
handout their white feathers of cowardice.
Jack
Benningham is not what he appears. Secretly working for British intelligence,
seeking to reveal the traitors to their country. However, he didn’t plan on
meeting Pandora that fateful night. As
her beauty captivates him and he charms her with a gentle kiss on her hand, he
becomes amused and enraptured by her boldness as she hands him a white feather.
Sadly, he let her beauty distract him from the mission and in pursuit of the
spy Jack is devastatingly injured. Jack must not only live without his sight,
but he must learn to live by faith; a faith not by sight.
Fit with
humor, love, and faith this book is one to have on your bookshelf! You will
fall in love with it as soon as you open the book and want to share with
others.
I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars!

Oh, this book looks good! I usually read early 19th century historical, but I would read this.
