Hi there!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Today, we're teaming up with TLC Book Tours and Entangled Publishing to celebrate the latest addition to the Secrets, Spies, and Scandals series from author Maddison Michaels! It's a story that throws punches without apologies, both literally and figuratively, and has two characters that are so stubbornly set in denying their own desires while chasing their shared quarry, they're burning up from the inside out. Ladies and gents, get ready for some historical spy games the likes of which you've never seen (or at least I haven't!) as we dive between the epages of today's blog tour guest and ebook of choice...

About the book...
He wants justice
Underestimating Marcus Black is the last thing his enemies ever do. After all, the respected Earl of Westwood is a deadly threat… when her Majesty needs him to be. And his only goal is to avenge his brother’s murder. Which would be much easier if the viciously-skilled Lady Kaitlyn Montrose wouldn’t swoop in, knee him in the bollocks, and then run off with his only lead…
She wants revenge
Kat is determined to avenge her beloved uncle’s murder and nothing will stop her. Especially not the devastatingly handsome, and equally lethal Marcus Black. The fact that he’s after the same target is a complication she hadn’t planned on. And as much as she enjoys taunting him, she has a job to do—one that doesn’t include sparring with the infuriating man at every turn. Except Kat has a new plan… one that Marcus will just hate.
Now they’ll have to work together… if they don’t kill each other first
Individually, Marcus and Kat are deadly. If they worked together, they could be unstoppable. But when attraction gets in the way of vengeance, it’s more than hearts on the line. And only one person can win…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's not often a story starts off with a lady trapped in a train car with two miscreants that mean her harm...and SHE'S the one that comes out on top! Not to mention the time she goes climbing in moonlight, encounters an unexpected, yet not completely unwelcome, spy of the male persuasion with the same lofty goal for the evening...and leaves him behind in pieces, even if only for a moment, as she escapes with her prize. No siree, this is not a book like you've, or at least I've, read before...and I gotta say, me likee!
Kat is deadly with a dagger, though just as capable with simply her wits and well tailored clothing, thanks to her late Uncle Victor. He's late not by time, but by circumstance...which gives us the plotline for Kat's revenge streak. She grew up unlike most ladies of her station, and yet can blend into any social occasion or situation necessary. She's sharp, and always in control...at least, she was...though the same can be said of the one causing the inner chaos she's trying to tamp down. That chaos goes by the name of Marcus, and he has his own agenda for seeking the shared foe they are aiming for. She wants to make them pay in blood, while he wants to see them pay for the rest of their days. A role reversal for sure, but I can't say I blame either of them, considering the circumstances. The thing is, while their teaming up is the best possible pooling of resources to get their man, they created a new obstacle to overcome as they inadvertently fan the flames of their hearts. Trust me when I say, it's a pleasure to watch because you keep moving towards the inevitable, but you're never left hanging because you're so caught up in the storyline outside of their potential.
All in all, a great read from start to finish, and a series that I for one will be checking out the further adventures of in the near future...because hello, I haven't read the first book and I'm dying to see what happened there! Recommended for adult Historical Fiction fans.

They say never judge a cover. Not a cover that appeals to me, so much so that I wouldn't give the book a second glance, let alone pick it up but that's the power of reviews.
My interest piqued by 'historical spy games the likes of which you've never seen', then there's the fact I love feisty female characters and your review paints Kat as just such a character. Maybe this is a novel that despite its cover I would enjoy after all.
