Lord Christian Wolverton―known as Wolf in a covert group operating during the war against Napoleon―has been called home from his military duties. For the moment, his family responsibilities require him to suspend his more clandestine activities. But information falls into his hands that a traitor will soon try to tip the scales back into French favor and Christian doesn’t have much time to stop it from happening.
Going to the one person who can help him, the powerful Duke of Huntingdon, Christian comes face to face with Lady Alice. She’s a beautiful member of the ton with a very big secret―she’s also a trained agent and already on the case. Forced to partner with her to lure the traitor out of hiding, Christian wants to quickly close the case himself, before Lady Alice is more closely involved. But Lady Alice has ideas of her own and she’s going to prove her theories correct―with or without him.
Danger is closer than they think, however, and it’s a race against time to expose the traitor’s identity before British lives are endangered. Both Christian and Alice have strong opinions on who he is, but which one will be proven right?

About Julie Coulter Bellon
Julie Coulter Bellon is the author of more than a dozen romantic suspense novels. She loves to travel, read, write, teach, watch Castle, Hawaii Five-O, and eat Canadian chocolate. Not necessarily in that order.
This was a fun Regency book with a light-hearted spy theme. Lady Alice and Lord Wolverton are both determined to find the traitor in their midst and can’t agree on who it could be. I liked that Alice was independent and that Christian learn to appreciate each others’ strengths. It’s a quick, fun read.
This book is full of action, drama, suspense, and romance. It is well written and I was hooked from the first page and all the way to the end. The author brings the story to life with her words. You can visualize the scenery and feel all the excitement, suspense and emotions the characters are experiencing. If you like a good, clean, historical romance/suspense, you will love reading The Marquess Meets His Match.

Romance meets intrigue in this story. I liked that the heroine was so trusted by her father and that eventually the hero admires and supports her too. Well, I guess he always admired her but there was some sexism going on for a while. While somewhat predictable, in the sense that I figured out who the bad guy was pretty quickly, it was still fun to read and see how everything would play out.
