Review of The Uncompromising Lord Flint-by Virginia Heath -Kings Elite Book 2

Part of The King’s Elite. Charged with high treason, Lady Jessamine Fane’s under the watchful eye of icily calm Lord Peter Flint.

A task this spy won’t be swayed from, no matter how alluring his prisoner! Only, it’s not long before Flint realizes tenacious Jess hides a lifetime of pain. With so much at stake, can he afford to take a chance on their powerful attraction? 

The members of the King’s Elite have been working to bring a group of French smugglers to justice. Lord Peter Flint’s assignment? To bring Lady Jessamine Fane to London. Why? Because the King’s Elite believe, Comte Saint-Aubin, her late mother’s lover is the head of the French smuggling ring. Lady Jessamine will be charged with treason and its’ Flint’s task to bring the feisty Frenchwoman to London.

I loved the novel’s suspenseful storyline. Lady Jessamine was being held on board a navy frigate—her presence on the ship was being used to draw Saint-Aubin and his men out of hiding. The author does a fabulous job creating a sense of danger throughout the novel which increases with every page. Jess knew she was in danger and had to take a leap of faith in order to trust Flint to keep her safe.

Peter Flint is honest, brave and dedicated to his job. He is unwavering in his mission-even if he is tempted by the beautiful Lady Jessamine. I loved the pairing of the independent, feisty Jess with the calm, dedicate English spy. Loved how the author wove their romance into such an intriguing storyline and kept Flint true to character. He wanted to believe Jess but he had to do what was right for his country.

Flint and Jess’s story captivated me from the first page! Ms. Heath has created an honorable hero with heart. I adored how the author had Jess speak in French when she was upset—it added so much depth to her character. Peter’s mother Baroness Flint added warmth, humor and understanding to the story. I adored her relationship with her son. And the king’s man, Lord Hadleigh, was unrelenting in his pursuit of the truth. I can’t wait for his story. I loved that the author surprised me throughout the novel—and the ending was fabulous-totally caught me off guard—loved it!

If you are looking for a suspenseful novel filled with captivating characters, several surprising plot twists and turns then Virginia Heath’s The Uncompromising Lord Flint is the book for you!
