Historical Romance

I recently read this book for the second time and it was pretty much as I remembered it: A fun, quick, romantic read.

5 years ago, Moira MacAllister was a spy who seduced Robert Hurst and then disappeared. Now she is back, in the search for several onyx boxes that she must use to get back her daughter who has been kidnapped. When she and Robert run into each other, it is only a matter of time before they work out their differences.

Because of the past between the two characters, I feel like there was very little effort into flushing out their relationship. It felt like neither of them had changed over the preceding 5 years and they were just picking up right where they left off. There is very little drama between them, which makes it almost too easy for the characters to get back together.

All in all, the characters were fun. The plot was fast paced and it was a good addition to the series. ( )

I’m a huge fan of Karen Hawkins, with both her historical and contemporary romances. In all honesty, I fall in love a little more with her writing with each new story that I read. I’ve been looking forward to this book since the end of the last Hurst Amulet story.

If my memory serves me correctly, and it’s quite possible that it’s not reliable in this instance – in the previous stories in the series, Robert is the do-gooder that excels at his job with the Home Office, the reliable brother that the rest of the family can count on. It was somewhat exciting at the end of the last novel to discover that the beautiful red-headed thief is non other than Robert Hurst’s errant wife.

I knew in that moment that the story between Robert and Moira would be a fun, exciting read, and Karen Hawkins did not dissapoint.

Robert and Moira are both very strong characters equally determined in their goals. And yet, they are also each other’s weakness – better yet – once their secrets are openly revealed to one another, they become each other’s strengths through mutual love, trust, and vengeance

4.5 out of 5 stars for A Most Dangerous Profession.. ( )
