Pimpernell: Royal Ball

About the book: Sequel to the award-winning novel, Pimpernel

One man, one night, one dance, and one question…none of which Claire Ramsey sees coming.

She thinks the night is a test—a call to rise above her insecurities and step more fully into her skills. It’s been a year since she learned about the Pimpernel and fell in love with the man of so many masks. Jack’s world is full of high stakes and big players, and Claire wants in.

To her frustration, Jack is dragging his feet on letting her all the way into both his heart and his work. The risk is too high, he says. But Claire is ready to prove him wrong. She’s ready to go all-in.

What Claire doesn’t know is that Jack is no lone wolf, and the world he is shielding her from is much bigger than she has ever imagined.

But one man, one night, one dance, and one question will change all of that in a way Claire never saw coming.

My review: I don't know if you've read anything by this author, but if you read even one of her books, you're going to become so hooked on them that you need to read more and more and more until, like me, you've read them all and you're sadly waiting until more by her has come out!

I loved everything about this book! I loved that it was intense, wow, it really kept me hooked and wanting to read more until I'd read every word! And what do you think about the cover, isn't it fantastic?

I loved the characters. Claire is one of my very favorite characters ever written. I love the way she has a constant running commentary from her head that almost becomes another character. And it's right on with every comment! But it was fun to see her be able to break free from that just a little bit in this book. I loved seeing her grow a bit!

I loved Jack too! He's in an interesting position in this book. And you don't really understand or know all of why he's doing what he's doing until the end of the book, but that just makes everything about it better!

And then there's Kali, I love that you get to see part of the story from her perspective and I LOVE when she is who she is. I can't tell you, it will ruin everything for you! 

This book is just amazing in every way! I don't know exactly how to put this on into a category, it's got a bit of everything, action, adventure, romance and more! I can't wait to get my hands on more by this author, but since this one just barely came out, I'll have to be at least a little bit patient!

Actually, if you haven't read this author's other books, I have an assignment for you, you need to at the very least read Pimpernel before you read this one, I guarantee this won't make any sense without that one. And if you have time, you really should read the whole Rhea Jensen series first. That one's not a prerequisite, but things will make a lot more sense.

I was sent an e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
