Desire, danger, intrigue, and steamy seduction unite a sexy spymaster and an intrepid bluestocking as Stefanie Sloane’s luscious new series continues.
Possessed of a brilliant mind and a love for puzzles, Dashiell Matthews, Viscount Carrington, is a crucial member of the elite Young Corinthians spy league. Assuming the façade of an addle-brained Adonis, he hunts for a notorious London murderer known as the Bishop. When fate causes him to cross paths with Miss Elena Barnes, Dash discovers an enigma that will prove delightfully intoxicating to unravel: a voluptuous beauty as intelligent as she is fearless.
Only the lure of a collection of rare books bequeathed to her family by Dash’s late father could tempt Elena from her cozy rural life to the crush and vanity of London. But if Elena finds his lordship to be the most impossibly beautiful man she’s ever seen, he also seems to be the stupidest. Which made her body’s shameless response to his masterful seduction all the more unfathomable. Yet when she discovers Dash’s mission to track the dangerous Bishop, she willingly risks everything—her trust, her heart, her very life—to join him

Reviewer’s Thoughts:
Elena referred to as a bluestocking quite often because of her love of books and progressive thinking.
Dash plays the part of a simple minded nobleman but underneath he hides his intelligence.
Elena and Dash meet the second time when Elena goes to Dashes house to collect the Libraries worth of book that Dash’s Father leaves to Elena’s Father. It takes Dash and Elena awhile to come to terms with their love and passion for the other. Elena realizes it first but she was convinced after her first and last season out that she would rather be alone. Dash believed that his ability to love was pretty much lost when his friend’s mother was murdered when they were staying at the house one summer.
Dash and three of is friends decide to finally find out who is responsible for the murder, that was never solved. Elena of course finds herself taking part when it becomes clear that the persons responsible for her maid/best friend’s kidnapper is linked to the murder.
The mystery and intrigue were really great i was a little disappointed on the out come of the mystery but I am eagerly waiting to find out how it ends which will be in another of Stephenie Sloane’s series.
The interactions between all the character was really well written. With some strong and supportive secondary characters. The way some of the conversations flowed along was great.
The plot was smoothly written every thing seemed to flow together perfectly.
I give The Saint That Stole My Heart Five cocktails!
