*****2014 RomCon Reader's Crown Finalist in Historical Romance*****

She grew up believing he was her knight-in-shining armor. He thought of her as his best friend’s little sister, the pest that followed them around everywhere.

Now time and circumstances have changed them both. By a series of unfortunate events, Gabriel has become the Duke of Hawkescliffe and sees himself resigned to a loveless marriage. Until that time arrives, he will continue to serve in the fight against Napoleon as an Agent for the Crown.

When Mikala Simmons overhears a conversation that sounds as if Gabriel is trading secrets with a foreign agent, she is torn. Should she tell someone or confront the man himself? Only as she becomes further embroiled in the subterfuge and her life hangs in the balance will Gabriel have to decide what is truly important. Society, the Crown, or the woman of his dreams?

A wonderful Regency historical romance full of deception, secrets, and love. This is book #2 of The Reluctant Lords Trilogy.

The Reluctant Lords Trilogy:
A Traitorous Heart - Book 1
A Thin Line - Book 2
To Love and Protect - Book 3

Read more about the characters in these books as they appear in The Rogue Agents Trilogy. Book 1, A Proxy Marriage, coming in late 2014.

From a young age I could always be found carrying around books to read while watching my grandmother's soap operas with her. I read anything and everything I could get my hands on and even made up skits and stories for my friends and me to act out. Once I outgrew the children's and YA books, my mom introduced me to an entirely new world -contemporary romance. Upon discovering I had a love for history I began devouring historical romances. One day, sitting in a college British History class, something the professor said made me think, I wonder. I quickly called mom (also a writer) and ran the idea by her. After being told, "Of course you can do it, you're my daughter," the rest, as they say, is history.

I currently share my love of reading with the next generation as a high school librarian, and share my personal life with my demanding dog trapped in a cat's body, Ajax.

In 2017, my novel, The Beast of Yorkshire (Book 1 of Those Scandalous Taggarts), my take on Beauty and the Beast, won the Carolyn Reader's Choice Award Contest for Historical Romance hosted by the North Texas RWA.

This is the second book I read by Tammy Jo Burns and I really enjoyed it. It has everything that I came to love in historical romance-suspense, some humor, a lot of romance and some well done love scenes. I bought TO LOVE AND PROTECT and will be reading it shortly.

Tammy, are we going to see a book on Director MacKenzie? Sure hope so!

Oh my...what can I say. I love Gabe and Kayla. Their story is exceptional and a one of a kind. Both are head strong, but Gabe must have Kayla because she is the only one that can match him in life. A page turner and hard to put down until it is finished. A great, great story!

She has continued to amaze me with Book 2. It was as if she read my mind and answered many questions about Gabe and Mikayla! I can tell all her characters live a full life in her mind and heart - can't wait to see more!

Adventure, suspense, villainy, romance. What could be missing? Better dialogue to prevent boredom, that's what! I love sarcastic banter with humor but the hero and heroine constantly fought, whined, cried and blamed each other. I found it tedious to keep reading. I perceived to the last tear drop and feel like I wasted a day in my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2014
I loved this book. Mikala, who is Derek's sister from the first book, has been in love with her brother's best friend Gabe for years. Gabe was not meant to be the duke, but he took his responsibilities seriously and decided it was time to marry a woman who would make him a perfect duchess. Even though he knows of Kala's feelings for him, he knows she is not that woman.

Kala overhears Gabe talking to a woman and believes he is a traitor. No one believes her, not her brother, and not Mack the War Office director. She has to determine if Gabe is a traitor and if she can ever love any of the other men who are courting her and give up on her love of Gabe.

Kala and Gabe are sometimes hard characters to like. Kala is too impetuous and gets in trouble too easily, leaps before she looks. Gabe is too honest with Kala and says hurtful things, but she probably needs to hear them sometimes. The sex scenes between these two are great once they get together, not to give it away, but Kala's accident makes them even steamier. I devoured this book in a weekend, absolutely could not put it down. Lots of adventure and the writing is great. There were times when I wanted to cry for what Kala was going through.

The third book is about Clarissa, Kala's friend and the woman Gabe initially decided would make a good duchess. She disappears with Justin who was courting Kala in this book. But, when on when will we get Mack's story? If he is as hot as Gabe, but with a brogue, yum.

I really wanted to like the h, however, she took absolutely no responsibilities for her own actions. She blamed everyone and anybody that was in her path. This is the first book where I actually did not care at all about the h. The book is torture to read.
