Friends and Foes (The Jonquil Brothers, #1)

Posted on by

After five years of tracking and capturing spies on English soil, Philip Jonquil, Earl of Lampton, is in pursuit of his last quarry But at a traveler s inn, he encounters an unexpected and far maddening foe Sorrel Kendrick, a young lady who is strikingly pretty, shockingly outspoken, and entirely unimpressed with him Indeed, Sorrel cannot believe the nerve of this gentleman, who rudely accuses her of theft and insults her feminine dignity Doubly annoyed when they both end up at a party hosted by mutual friends, Philip and Sorrel privately declare war on one another But Philip s tactics, which range from flirting to indifference, soon backfire as he finds himself reluctantly enjoying Sorrel s company and, much to her dismay, Sorrel finds Philip s odd manner to be increasingly endearing In the midst of this waning war and growing attraction, Philip catches wind of the French spy he s been tracking, and Sorrel inadvertently stumbles upon a crucial piece of the puzzle, making her indispensable to the mission But can two proud hearts negotiate a ceasefire when cooperation matters most Best Read Books Friends and Foes (The Jonquil Brothers, #1) By Sarah M.

could be really good, but I think she needs an incredible editor Someone who could really push her to be better I don t enjoy the way the main characters constantly berate themselves for noticing the

the author didn t know how to use pronouns it sounds mean, but it almost stopped me from reading, because the names of the characters were used to start almost every sentence That kind of stuff really bothers me However I powered through, and by the second chapter, the writing improved drastically I have no idea how that happened After that, I was really able to get into the book, and I This was a
