Only the boy is in fact a young woman Gabrielle de Valmont. Whilst travelling through France Michael has a fever & Gabby nurses him back to heal.
They both harbour secrets & she is still being pursued. Then a plot to assassinate the King is discovered can the pair working together break the code.
This is the fourth book in the series & it could be read on its own but characters from earlier books do make appearances. I found it to be an engrossing read, which was spoiled by some inconsistencies & some missed editing mistakes. The characters were well portrayed & had depth. The pace was good but I did find the ending was a little rushed & things were 'sewn up' very quickly
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

I am sorry but I could not get into this book. I tried on several different times but it just wasn't my cup of tea.

A very enjoyable book and one that i read just recently. With spies, the plots and the romance, it certainly had me turning the pages. It's the first book that i have read of the Code Breakers and do hope to read the previous books in the near future.

My thanks to Negalley and the Publishers for my copy. This is my honest review.

WOW !!!! that is the only word that comes to mind for the Brilliant " Code Breakers " series by Jacki ... I have always admired Jacki's work ...her concept,ideas & finally presenting her story is entralling , exceptional .

A Cantata of Love by Jacki Delecki is the fourth book in her Code Breakers series; all her books so far in this series r standalone books ...as her other books in this books also she has maintained the drama, intigue, suspence, romance, action, sex, sizzling chemistry ...she has not disappointed & given us a superlike good book ...

We are introduced to Michael Harcourt, the Earl of Kendal in this book who is on a clandestine mission for the British crown. He is shot and wounded. is nursed by Lady Gabrielle De Valmont. Gabrielle is fleeing for her life from Napoleon’s men.Gabby's brother sent her to live in a nunnery when she caught the eye of one of Napoleon's lackies.Napoleon wants her fortune and he wants to force her to marry his brother.

Absolutely a captivating wonderful read!!
