How far would you go to avenge your family and save the one you love?

In nineteenth-century England, Alaina Claiborne had a loving family, a cherished friend, and devoted servants. She spent her days riding across the grassy hills of the English countryside, joyful and at peace.

Tristan Sheffield, a man of many talents, searches out those who don’t want to be found. His past is filled with secrets and deeds he would rather leave deeply buried. However, when his life unexpectedly entwines with Alaina’s, he soon discovers they share more than a mutual desire to catch a murderer.

On their hunt for a man driven by greed, Tristan and Alaina find that love is the greatest weapon against evil, and they’ll stop at nothing to survive.

Looking for an entertaining historical read that’s not your typical? I recommend giving Alaina Claiborne a try.

I was ready to review this as soon as I saw the words “British Agent”. Admit it, that sounds very James Bond, doesn’t it? And, perhaps our hero, Tristan, doesn’t have all the 007 trappings, but he still makes a fine spy. Of course, he doesn’t count on falling in love with Alaina, and that changes everything.  The good news is, she is the perfect match for him.

Ms. McClintock does a fine job creating interesting and memorable characters in this book. While the plot might be a bit predictable in spots, it’s still entertaining and in some cases will keep you on the edge of your seat.  Too, I rolled my eyes a few times at some of Alaina’s choices, but I still very much enjoyed the read mainly because I was attached to the characters. Each was an individual and very well drawn, to the point I’d have recognized them if they walked down the street.

The romance is sweet and touches the heart. They are so genuinely fond of each other, and are friends first and that makes it memorable and different than the norm. I’d love to find my own Tristan (or even one of his friends … they were yummy and noble, too, and I’m guessing they’ll be featured in upcoming releases in this series, thankfully).

So if you like a sweet historical romance that doesn’t have all its scenes in ballrooms (or even in Europe), and if you like a bit of mystery with your courting, I recommend Alaina Claiborne.
