A Dangerous Collaboration : Book Review


Many thanks to Berkley Publishing for a complimentary copy of A Dangerous Collaboration.

In the fourth book of the Veronica Speedwell series A Dangerous Collaboration, Veronica has recently returned from Madeira and is ready to finally confront her conflicted feelings for Stoker, her colleague and friend. But almost immediately, his brother Lord Templeton-Vane convinces her to pose as his fiancé at a house party hosted by his friend Malcolm Romilly on his family's island. With the promise of a rare butterfly, Veronica jumps at the chance. Besides, she can put off facing Stoker and his brooding silence.

Besides the beautiful and extraordinary butterfly, Veronica is especially delighted to discover that there is a mystery on the island. Veronica loves a mystery.  Malcolm Romilly's bride vanished on their wedding day. Now, he has gathered his closest friends and family with the aim of discovering the truth of his bride's inexplicable disappearance.

Veronica is only too happy to help uncover the truth.

It's not a secret that I enjoy the Veronica Speedwell series. I like Veronica's spunk and feistiness and I adore Stoker and all his pent up emotion. The two make an absolutely captivating pair as they get themselves into dangerous situations and work out the mysteries they manage to get involved in. Deanna Raybourn absolutely delivered all the fun bantering and sexual tension that I've come to expect from their relationship.

The remote island and the family castle setting added a perfect atmosphere and set the stage for a very entertaining story. It was a fast paced novel with plenty of perilous and uncomfortable predicaments for Veronica to get herself into. The twists and turns of the plot kept me guessing. Raybourn really delivered with this one.

If you haven't already, get your hands on this series and enjoy the absolute pleasure of reading them for the first time.

A Dangerous Collaboration by Deanna Raybourn is published by Berkley Books and released on March 12, 2019.
