absolutely wonderful

This book was just as wonderful as all of gayle callens books. it was the last one that i read of hers, it was so hard to find. The characters are so true to life. I love that the books are all set in victorian england when it was so inappropiate for a woman to be alone with a man. That is one thing that makes gayle callen's books so exciting.

Fresh, breezy read

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was a very light and easy read. I read the first two books in this trilogy. I liked the first one but thought the second was too much of a rehash of the first to be really enjoyable so I was very pleasantly suprised with the third installment. Nick and Will do not make an appearance until the end and that allows Sam's and Julia's story to stand on its own. I would have liked to have seen where Nick and Will learn the truth and perhaps apologized to Julia but that didn't happen. As it is, I like how the story ends because Julia gets her heart's desire and I think throughout the story you really get a sense of how lonely she is. So, in my opinion, it ended well.

FInal Installment of Spies and Lovers trilogy

A WOMAN'S INNOCENCE is the third and final novel in the Spies and Lovers trilogy, written by talented author Gayle Callen. This historical romance is an exciting romp through history, peppered with adventure and steeped in forbidden love. The characters shine through with pure Callen style and the plot is fast-paced and stimulating. Readers who love a bit of suspense and intrigue with their romance will adore Gayle Callen's latest novel. Though the book can be read as a stand-alone romance, I'd highly recommend reading all three in the trilogy just to get a feel for the richness of the Spies and Lovers history. Callen truly has a gift - weaving an intricate and fascinating tale and filling it with characters that come to life upon the page. I actually find myself sorry to see the last of the sexy, sensitive spies and their witty, outrageous lovers! If only there were one more book in the series...

Great conclusion to this series!

I think it helps to read this series in order! I loved the books that came before and Julia had seemed possibly innocent of the crimes against her. It was great to see the hero of her whole life come back and save her. You had to really like Sam, it is always fun to read about a spy at work and their disguises and how they fool people. It was also very touching how he could not fool his brother - that showed a deep family love there. Both Sam and Julia were the product of her being so far above his station in life when they were younger and both loving each other from afar for so many years that it caused them bad choices in their lives. The mystery of who really did the treason was not much of a mystery but more how they were going to prove that Julia did not. It was a good plot and the chemistry between Sam and Julia is evident from beginning to end. I especially loved the epilogue and all the couples coming together - all having their happy endings! A truly great book - Gayle Callen never disappoints!

solid Victorian thriller

In 1844 Leeds, spy Sam Sherryngton finds it hard to believe that his childhood friend Julia Reed betrayed her country resulting in the slaughter of 16000 soldiers at the Khyber Pass in Afghanistan. Still he did his job and she lingers in a nearby jail awaiting extradition to London to stand trial, a formality as the evidence is so overwhelming. Still one thing bothers Sam which involves the time sequence of the death of the mother of the government's key witness Edwin Hume. Deciding to ask Edwin a few more questions, Sam finds instead a dying man.. In his last breath Edwin tells Sam that Julia is innocent; her brother General Lewis Reed is the traitor. As Edwin dies, two constables arrive. They accuse Sam of murder to help Julia. He escapes and shortly afterward frees Julia. As they run for their lives, Julia refuses to believe her sibling would set her up like this. Sam hopes to keep them alive while seeking proof that Lewis is a traitor and a killer. He never expected to fall in love too. This solid Victorian thriller is more an action yarn than a romance though fans of the latter will appreciate the growing love between the lead couple. The story line is fast-paced as Sam and Julia go on the lam with little hope of convincing authorities without concrete proof that a British general officer sold the country out; getting that proof is the fun of this tale. The ending will surprise the audience though historical readers will know the realism of the decision that just wraps up final tale of the "Spies and Lovers" trilogy in triumph. Harriet Klausner
