Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: Lady Wynwood's Spies 1: Archer by Camille Elliot




Book:  Lady Wynwood’s Spies 1: Archer

Author: Camille Elliot

Genre: Christian Historical Romantic Suspense

Release date: December 8, 2020

A Christian Regency Romantic Adventure serial novel with a supernatural twist

Lady Wynwood’s Spies volume 1

She met him again by shooting him.

Part one in a Christian Regency Romantic Adventure epic serial novel with a supernatural twist. After four seasons and unmarried because she is taller than most of her dance partners, Miss Phoebe Sauber receives the shocking news that she is being callously banished from her father’s estate because he is remarrying. Feeling betrayed by her father and by God, and wanting to escape her family’s presence, she attends an archery tournament with her friends.

But her perfect aim fails her, and her arrow hits a piece of paper held by Mr. Michael Coulton-Jones, whom she hasn’t seen much in society in several years. But strangely, her arrow tears a section of the paper with a partial symbol that looks eerily familiar to her.

He met her again while searching for a killer.

Michael had quit his work as a spy for the Foreign Office when his brother was poisoned. His search for the murderer leads him to Apothecary Jack, a criminal underworld leader with a penchant for poisons, who is gathering a powerful army through an alchemical potion that can give men supernatural strength.

But his path unexpectedly crosses again with Miss Sauber, who saves him from a trap laid by Jack. She and her Aunt Laura, Lady Wynwood, have found a vital connection to Apothecary Jack and the mysterious group he works for.

Now Michael, who had vowed to never again allow civilians to come to harm, must work with a nobleman keeping dangerous secrets, a human lie detector, a chemist, a fellow former spy, and the one woman he’s never allowed himself to get close to.

And it is only this ragtag group that stands against a traitorous organization that could enable Napoleon to conquer the world.

I am a generally excited when it comes to Christian Historical Romance. The genre is one of my absolute favorite genres to read. I was intrigued that this bookalso includes Mystery/Suspense genre. Camille Elliott is a new to me author. 

Phoebe Sauber just received news that she has to move out of her Father's house as he is getting remarried. To deal with the stress from this news, sheattends an Archery event with her friends. Phoebe takes an arrow and aim, and fires. Her arrow doesn't quite make the target, it instead hits a paperbeing held by Michael Coulton-Jones. Phoebe hasn't seen Michael in a long while. Michael has been on a "mission" for the past few years, when his brother was murdered. Michael quit his job as a spy for the Foreign Officeand has been on a personal mission to find the group who poisoned his brother. Michael has befriended, Apothecary Jack, who has connections
to the underground world of poisons that supposedly give men superpowers. The "run in" with Phoebe and her aunt may have saved Michael from a trap from the Mysterious group he has been involved with and Apothecary Jack. Phoebe, her Aunt Laura and Michael begin working together to solve the new information they have come across. Will they be able to solve the mystery or will they keep uncovering more information and clues? Will therebe a Romantic Connection between Phoebe and Michael?? Ohhhh, you will just have to grab a copy of this book to find out! 

I have to admit it took me about 3 Chapters to really get into the book. The bookstarts off slow and has so much information and happenings in the first few chapters. I finally got to a point where I was understanding all the characters and storyline and then it was hard to put it down. The book really sped up when the characters all were interested in the new happenings and clues. I felt for Michael and his loss. I love how Phoebe and Michael lean on each other to get through the difficult points in life. I really enjoyed this book and I recommend it for those who
like the Regency time period and romance. Good Book!

More from Camy

I love Regency romances! I started reading them when I was 13 years old and haven’t stopped since.

There’s something about the Regency time period and culture that’s glamorous and decadent and the epitome of elegance. The resplendent dresses! The brooding, romantic Lord Byron and the distinguished Beau Brummell! Dashing naval captains and army lieutenants, glittering ballrooms and winsome debutantes!

The flip side of my personality loves romantic suspense and action adventure. I love seeing strong women face danger with courage and smarts, and strong men willing to do anything to protect their loved ones and fight for justice.

So, basically, the Lady Wynwood’s Spies series grew out of my desire to see Mission: Impossible in the Regency era!

My Regency “IMF” team is brought together when my spinster heroine, a botanist and a skilled archer, discovers that her late uncle had ties to a mysterious group. She goes to her aunt’s best friend, a gentleman who has secretly been a spy for decades, and he forms his team of ex-agents and uniquely gifted civilians to battle this group of alchemists who want to ensure that Napoleon wins the war with England. (Cue the Mission: Impossible theme music!)

I’ve also structured the series a little differently. It’s a very long serial novel, similar to a Japanese manga or light novel series, with 12 volumes that each have a completed story arc, but the main plot isn’t resolved until the end.

I hope you’ll join me on this epic Regency romantic adventure!
