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.

My Thoughts on Lady Wynwood’s Spies 1: Archer

Have you ever wanted to shout at an author?  If I wasn’t such a lady I might ask if you’ve ever wanted to cuss out an author.  You see, this is one of those books that when it ends you’re going to still want to read.  It leaves you hanging and waiting on the next book.  Which unfortunately was not out when I finished book one.  And that is why I am mad at the author. 

You should know that book two is out now but that it is not the end of the series and the next book is again not out for when you finish book two.  Which you will do in a matter of hours as I did.

If you’re going to write a serial novel then please please make sure they come out like the day after each other so that I’m not kept in suspense this long!!

Okay, so now that we’ve gotten that out of the way.  

Archer is an amazing book.  I really enjoyed reading it and getting to know the characters.  It started a bit slow to me.  I was expecting something amazing.  While it had suspense and a plot it did have to set the stage for the whole series.  I did realize this and kept reading and soon could not put the book down.  I really wanted to play sick so I could just curl up in bed and read this book.  But alas, my children needed their schooling done and fed multiple times. 

Really I don’t know if I can choose a favorite character.  This one focused on Phoebe the most as she is the archer.  But you also get up close and personal with Michael as he is definitely another main character in this book.  I have to say he plays a very important role.

I think before the series is over our little female apothecary may well end up being my favorite character though. 

So, here is my recommendation.  There are a few prequels to this series that have come out to explain a few of the characters.  Read those while you wait for book three to come out.  Because you’re going to be impatient.  

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received through Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

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.

Mission Impossible

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 has 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!
