Sunday I wa
s whisked away to Ireland in December for mystery and adventure. I was absolutely thrilled to learn that Crowned and Dangerous by Rhys Bowen picks up exactly where Malice at the Palace leaves off. I started reading Crowned and Dangerous about an hour after finishing Malice at the Palace. There is something in the way that Rhys Bowen writes this series that delights and excites me. Rhys Bowen's A Royal Spyness Mystery has the ability to transport me back in time and easily picturing the exciting adventures of Lady Georgiana, and the misadventures of her lady's maid Queenie. I did not know what I was in for with book 10 of this series and it was oh so much better then I could have imagined. I really enjoyed how much of Crowned and Dangerous centered around Georgie and her intended Darcy O'Mara, I was completely swept away!
Nothing is simple when you re thirty-fifth in line for the British crown, least of all marriage. But with love on their side, and plans to elope, Lady Georgiana Rannoch and her beau Darcy O Mara hope to bypass a few royal rules... With Darcy driving me out of London in a borrowed motor car, I soon discover that he isn t planning to introduce me to the pleasures of sinning in secret as I had hoped but to make me his wife! Of course, there are some quibbles to be dealt with, such as my needing special permission from the King to marry a Roman Catholic and the question of where we might live after the honeymoon. Though he will inherit a title, Darcy is as broke as I am. Even his family s Irish castle has been sold to a rich American who now employes Darcy s father as a hired hand. Throwing these cares to the wind, nothing could deter us from our mission except perhaps the news that my future father-in-law has just been arrested. It seems the rich American was murdered and Darcy s father had more than enough motive to do the deed. With the elopement postponed, we head for Ireland where he insists he s innocent, and it s up to us to prove it for better or worse."
