Reviewer’s Thoughts:

Alex a headstrong woman who dose not conform to society standers of what a lady of rank should be.

Michael, goes all can for his country serving as a spy.

Alex and her brother Ryan end going to France with Michael who is sent to bring back their brother William is suspected of treason. Alex and Ryan, both set to try to prove their brother’s innocence. Alex at first dresses as a man in the first part of the journey, knowing that Michael would not let her come with on the journey if he knows she is woman. When Michael dose find out he feels that she will in danger the mission. And Alex sets out to prove that she is helpful to mission.

I enjoyed the relationships between all the characters. The relationship between Alex and Micheal is quite interesting. I really enjoyed how Micheal was the first one to realize his feelings and accept them, while Alex tried to hide from them. The romance between the two was sweet and slow going mostly do to Alex being afraid.

I really enjoyed the how Alex was a different type heroine then what is usual type for this genre. I also hope the rest of the series goes in the same direction!!

I give Lady Alexandra’s Excellent Adventure five cocktails.
