I'm shamefully behind on my Lisa Kleypas historical series (The Hathaways might have been my last reads from her?) but have good memories of them, so when I got a chance to read Hello Stranger with a doctor heroine and spy hero, I jumped at the chance.
Usually, "spy" romances are among my least favorite historicals, but this is a wonderful story and so much more in what is one of my favorite series. He also has some hidden facets (no spoiler) that make him a great match for Garrett. It takes a while and some dramatic happenings for him to acknowledge his family.
