A great start to a new series! I thoroughly enjoyed "In Bed with a Blackguard." FMC Jacquette "Jack" is a Lady Knight working on behalf of queen and country. Assigned to figure out the reasons behind MMC Greyson Thane's infrequent stays in London, she allows herself to be kidnapped, never imagining she will end up tied to the mast of a ship bound for Barbados. Unbeknownst to her, Greyson's boss/captor of many years has demanded Greyson bring Jack to the boss. Greyson will then finally be free to return to his family.
Jack and Greyson are electric and entertaining. Jack is definitely at least a couple of years younger than I would have written her, especially since she has been at the spy game for 2 years already, but I was able to get over her age and focus instead on her character. Jack is strong and resourceful, the best kind of heroine. Greyson is tortured (of course) and has to overcome the automatic black mark of him being willing to turn over a young woman to a man whom Greyson knows is a monster. The chemistry is great, the spice is spicy, and the secondary characters make me excited to read about them.
A very solid 4 stars. I will definitely be on the lookout for the next book in this series. Thank you to Dragonblade and NetGalley for a complimentary ARC of this book. The opinions herein are my own.

I know i have been watching so much television when all i could think of was how would this book work as a series and let me tell you, it would it has action, it has drama, it has romance and why not comedy (accidental or not),
The book was fast, easy to read and keep me in my toes, the romance was good, the book is one highly recommended.

I absolutely adored this story! A tremendous introduction to this amazing cast of independent and incomparable Lady Knights. If this first book is any indication, this will be an amazing series and I cannot wait for more. A truly gripping story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The many mysteries that are Captain Grayson Thane will keep you guessing. Though unsure of his merit, you won’t be able to resist melting at this heartbreaking hero. His magnetism lights up the page and it is completely understandable that Lady Knight, Jacquetta is so drawn to him. Their chemistry is pure fire, wicked banter the foundation of their electric connection. There were moments I swear I held my breath in anticipation and despair equally. When all things seemed lost to these two, my heart broke with them. This is most definitely highly recommended and one of my new favourites. I could go on and on but instead I will simply say, Cara Maxwell you have outdone yourself!
Grayson and Jacquetta took to the seas by storm. I loved this romantic action story. I tucked myself in for the night and a had a great time reading an entertaining book. I certainly enjoyed that the book was a fast page turner. This allowed me to see what Jacquetta and her girls would tackle next. The romance was a little hot and very passionate. I must say that I really enjoyed that. The book was exciting and easy to read.

Jacquetta is way too young to be such an accomplished spy. Also she’s away from home for weeks on end and not once she worries about her family or her fellow spies?
An amazing new series by Cara Maxwell! I love spy stories, adventure and suspense in my romance books and this book delivered all of them in spades, together with funny moments wonderfully mixed with some angst. I loved both characters and the side characters as well. Jacquetta is a great woman, willful and capable and totally adorable. She’s pretty young, maybe a little too young to be such a good spy (yes, I would have preferred an older woman in this case), but she can handle every situation with nonchalance. Save falling for the man she’s investigating, of course! I loved handsome, brooding and kind Grayson, even if I found him a tad naïve… I don’t want to spoiler anything, but I think he was quite a fool to put himself in the hands of the first man who offered to help him… As for the writing, it’s awesome as ever, with the added bonus of the wonderful descriptions of ocean sailing and beautiful Caribbean islands!
I have great expectations for the next books and I’m sure Maxwell will not disappoint me.
