Overall, The Prince of Spies is a romantic historical tale that will make romance fans sigh. I think it should’ve been addressed though. But I got a subtle hint later in the novel that suggests he knows he can’t earn salvation. And Luke’s statement may concern some Christian readers. While I can see even mature Christians wish they could be worthy of their salvation, most of us know we never will be. Though at one point, he makes a statement that he hopes working for the food trial will make him worthy in God’s eyes, this is never addressed again, nor does he realize he’ll never be worthy. Although you can read Prince of Spies as a standalone, I think these appearances are more enjoyable if you’ve read the series.Īs far as spiritual elements, Luke and Marianne have great discussions about his reliance on God and what he learned while in prison. I loved seeing Gray, Annabelle, Caroline, and Nathaniel again. Both Marianne and Luke are relatable, making it easy to root for them to work out their relationship. I loved the way she developed their relationship, even when they couldn’t see each other. And what a meet cute! Somehow, they don’t know who each other are at first, and I was holding my breath wondering what would happen when they found out the truth.īut instead of the back and forth I was expecting, Camden surprised me.

In fact, this may be my favorite thus far.įor those who’ve read the other books in the series, the suspense starts immediately when Marianne and Luke meet.

Luke is captivated by Marianne’s quick wit and alluring charm, leading them both into a dangerous gamble to reconcile their feelings for each other with Luke’s driving passion for vital reforms in Congress.Ĭan their newfound love survive a political firestorm, or will three generations of family rivalry drive them apart forever? My Thoughtsįor me, Elizabeth Camden’s books are almost always winners. His current mission is to thwart the reelection of Congressman Clyde Magruder, his only real enemy in the world.īut trouble begins when Luke meets Marianne Magruder, the congressman’s only daughter, whose job as a government photographer gives her unprecedented access to sites throughout the city. In reality, he is secretly carrying out an ambitious agenda in Congress. Luke Delacroix has the reputation of a charming man-about-town in Gilded Age Washington, DC.
