Review: Not as good as the others

Having read the first 2 books and liking them, I was disappointed by this one. Jordan works for the Foreign Office protecting a young French royal. Napoleons men are coming after this royal housed in Jordan's country home. He is tasked with protecting the royal but doesn't want to rouse suspicion by descending unannounced on his Abbey with a motley group of intelligence agents, so he decides to host a "house party." He pulls Naomi into the house party and things go array as he is falling for her.Although entertaining, the pacing was off, the action was a bit over the top and far fetched, the Downton Abbey references were distracting (the name and description of the Lintern Abbey, a Mr. Bates), and the need to suspend reality on numerous occasions were annoying. If you are reading this series, it is an ok addition, but not the best. Hopefully the next one will be better.
