LORD AND LADY SPY
by
Shana Galen
No man can outsmart him…
Lord Adrian Smythe may appear a perfectly boring gentleman, but he leads a thrilling life as one of England’s most preeminent spies, an identity so clandestine even his wife is unaware of it. But he isn’t the only one with secrets…
She’s been outsmarting him for years…
Now that the Napoleonic wars have come to an end, daring secret agent Lady Sophia Smythe can hardly bear the thought of returning home to her tedious husband. Until she discovers in the dark of night that he’s not who she thinks he is after all…
“Galen strikes the perfect balance between dangerous intrigue and sexy romance.”
-Booklist
Shana Galen has taken romance to new heights, writing about what happens AFTER the couple says “I Do”. To win a copy of LORD AND LADY SPY, tell me:

Yes – after the wedding puts the couple on a different footing. They really need to work things out and, in historicals, don’t have the taboo of pre-maritial relations to deal with.

Yes, I do like after-the-wedding romances and there aren’t enough out there. I especially like ones where the couple solves a mystery.

Oooh I just started reading Shana Galen and enjoying her books… yes I enjoy after the wedding stories… they can be very entertaining…

Wow, I have never read a after-the-wedding romance, but how fantastic does this book sound?? I can’t wait to read it!

I’ve enjoyed plenty of marriage of convenience stories where the marriage actually occurs early in the book (Devil In Winter is a fave of mine) as well as some “married reunion” stories (Lady Isabella’s Scandalous Marriage is a great one of these)
September 6th, 2011 at 8:07 pm · Link
Yes, very! I love to see how they manage their life after marriage. How life not always happily ever after. But, there are always problem they must face afterward. My favorite for this genre is In Death series by J.D.Robb
September 6th, 2011 at 8:10 pm · Link
OH, YES! I LOVE THEM!! 😛
makes it all more realistic.. let’s face it it’s not always easy after u say ‘I do’ 😉
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THAT COVER! 😛

I’m a big fan of after-the-wedding romances! Looks like a great book.
September 6th, 2011 at 8:14 pm · Link
I want this book in the WORST way!
I think the wedding occurring has a lot to do with the story. The novels where the strangers marry and then find that they are perfectly suited are usually pretty good. Or they marry for a particular purpose and find that they are in love. **sighs**
September 6th, 2011 at 8:15 pm · Link
my favorite on this kind of book is Private Arrengements!
you gotta love Camden for not giving up!=)
and also Tempt me at twilight by Lisa Kleypas!
I adore how Harry has to make his wife fall in love with hm! 😉
September 6th, 2011 at 8:21 pm · Link
Yes i love that idea. Not many books out there continue after marrying their characters which is so disappointing since i would love to know how everything is going.
September 6th, 2011 at 8:24 pm · Link
sometimes! i like knowing they have a happy ending.. when reading series, i love catching glimpses of how the other couples still relate.. julia quinn is awesome for having epilogues that show extras
September 6th, 2011 at 8:39 pm · Link
Yes i do love after the wedding romence
September 6th, 2011 at 8:39 pm · Link
It is always good when an author recommends other books to read…. So in saying that I have another one to add to my kindle 🙂

You know I am not that sure… Mixed emotions on this
September 6th, 2011 at 8:49 pm · Link
Oh yes, I am a fan. Especially the marriage of convenience, where the couple have to get to know and love each other after the wedding.
September 6th, 2011 at 8:57 pm · Link
Yes, but I haven’t read many of them.
September 6th, 2011 at 9:03 pm · Link
Yes, I enjoy the after marriage romances, for a change of pace.
September 6th, 2011 at 9:04 pm · Link

Huge fan of after the wedding romances. It shows they’ve grown together not apart as most couples do. I can’t wait to read this one!!

After the wedding is when real life begins!
September 6th, 2011 at 10:00 pm · Link
I think it depends on the storyline… I tend to enjoy more “period” pieces than modern times.
September 6th, 2011 at 10:46 pm · Link
I think I do like reading about the after part, other than just giving it a closure part, it’s about finding out how things are going after the wedding, are they getting along, problems they’ve overcome, etc.
September 6th, 2011 at 11:06 pm · Link
I have only read a few of them, but I like them
September 6th, 2011 at 11:07 pm · Link
I have only read a few of them but I liked them

Absolutely a fan, romance is not supposed to die as soon as the wedding bells chime. I have not read many after-wedding-romances but I really like them.
September 6th, 2011 at 11:22 pm · Link
ofcourse, why not ^^
unfornatulaty i can’t join the contest to win “lord and lady spy” in one author fews day ago, because i like this book, similar with the movie of Mr. and Mrs. Smith by jolie and pitt, they are awesome
September 7th, 2011 at 12:01 am · Link
Yes, I often like to see where the story goes.
September 7th, 2011 at 12:17 am · Link

September 7th, 2011 at 4:57 am · Link
I like when love doesn’t come easy so I would have to say yes, I enjoy after wedding romances.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:57 am · Link
For me, it’s not about before or after the wedding I’ve read both and loved stories on both sides… It’s about the adventure…
September 7th, 2011 at 5:05 am · Link
Yes, if done well.. it is more romantic at times…
September 7th, 2011 at 5:10 am · Link
I like to see what happens after.
September 7th, 2011 at 5:13 am · Link
Yes! It’s my cave trope next to reunion story.
September 7th, 2011 at 5:42 am · Link
Yes I am. I like to see how the couple’s relationship develops after they are married.
September 7th, 2011 at 6:33 am · Link
Yes! I have only read a few but they have all been great.
I am really looking forward to reading Shana’s book! I love adventure/romance/historical books!
September 7th, 2011 at 9:16 am · Link
Yes I am a fan of after-wedding romances. I must be, since my marriage of 30 years keeps getting better and better!
