Mischief is as mischief does…

Clara Harlow is perfectly content with her life as a teacher of art and French at the Miss Masters Finishing School, so nothing startles her more than to discover that the school is far more than it seems, and its purposes more complicated than anything she could have imagined. She finds herself accepting an assignment from the highest powers in England to use her talents for a particular mission: to impersonate the ward of the late Duke of Kirklin, gain access to the estate, and to discern how a strip of the Kent coastline there is being used against the security of England.

The present Duke of Kirklin, George Russell, better known as Hawk, does not know what to make of the appearance of the former ward of his late uncle, but he is captivated by her. Her skills in art are unlike anything he has ever seen, and her company grows more agreeable with every passing day. His boring, bachelor life grows less and less appealing, and the company within his walls more perfectly suited for the place than he ever dreamed.

What could possibly go wrong?

---

Fortune Favors the Sparrow was the perfect blend of romance and mystery and such a fun idea for a new series. It was filled with sweet little romantic moments that the Regency era is known for.

Clara Harlow and the Duke of Kirklin (Hawk) may not have known each other long before they started falling in love, but in a way it felt that they knew each other forever. I loved the little notes they sent to each other when they were apart.

Nat has a great sense of humor and plays well off Hawk’s serious nature. I really hope that we get to see more of him. I am also really interested in learning more about Phoebe’s story. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

*This book is clean, however, it does have some cursing.
