Allen was a spy who fell in love with Eliza when she was with his best friend and fellow spy Henry. Eliza and his best friend eventually ended things on good terms and Eliza became a spy herself. Eliza took care of Allen during his recovery from captivity/torture and the two grew close... However, trouble followed Allen from his captivity....

I love Eliza since the first book and I was sad that she and Henry didn't end up together. I am happy that she found someone who cares and loves her totally. :) She grew so much and became such a confident and competent woman. The romance is terrific and I like the action/suspense in the book too. A great ending to the series. You can read this as a stand alone but it will add so much more if you read the first book...

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

The Memory of Her is a reminder of the importance of friendship and love getting you through your darkest hours -- and that it is possible to love after all the trauma you overcome and heal from, especially when you have the right people in your life to support you.

If you know a survivor of trauma that still feels unseen, misunderstood, or you want to know what it’s like to have reoccurring nightmares that suffocate you to your core, reading Bianca’s writing can help you understand what that feels like.

Every time I read Bianca’s new book in the Gentleman Spy Mysteries series, I get so engrossed in the characters that I can’t bother to put the book down and have to read it more than once. I read this one three times before reviewing because it is just that good!

I read the 1st instalment 1 year ago and remembered I was impressed with the writing though I like my books to be less descriptive even if the descriptions are very vivid and bring the story to life. It was a good book. Thanks to netgalley I got my hands on this 3rd installment. Reading the PDF version was a challenge. I converted the PDF version into a format for Kindle but the alignment all came out wrong. I wish before we request a copy we are able to see whether it is a pdf copy or an epub which the latter is so much easier to read.

Memories of her is a good story and the stakes are raised in this 3rd book. No change in writing style but just as riveting as the 1st book. Every scene is vividly written. I am not too fond of Eliza and preferred Isabella in the 2nd book but Eliza grows on me with this 3rd installment and I slowly appreciates her as a interesting character. Sir Henry March is a very charming and endearing character but Allen is more deep and likeable. The character development for him was excellent and well written. Eliza has matured in this 3rd book and her feelings are well flushed out in this story. And this 3rd instalment has more intrigue than I ever imagined and more mystery which I love in books of this nature. Also more action. I wouldn't really call this series in the mystery genre because the romance is a big part of the story but I think it belongs more in the suspense and thriller genre. The plot was interesting and after I finish the book I am looking forward to the 4th instalment as I am curious to know what the author will come out with next.

This is the third in Gentleman Spy Mysteries, a series of romantic suspense stories set in Regency England. I have not read the first two books in the series but had no trouble following the story.

The hero, Allen, has returned to England to recuperate after being physically and mentally tortured during a mission in Crimea. Eliza is the agent charged with protecting Allen and overseeing his convalescence. This is the first mission that Eliza is leading. She and Allen were acquainted prior to his Crimean assignment and Allen has loved her from afar for years.

Despite admirable main and secondary characters, this was a miss for me. I had to really push myself to finish the book. The pacing seemed very slow, hindered by an excess of details about many insignificant aspects of the story, such as exact routes that were taken as the characters traveled, or what they had for various meals. I never felt absorbed by the story.

Thanks to #NetGalley and #CentralAvenuePublishing, for the advance copy.

Marketed as being for lovers of Regency romance, this spy story falls short of the mark. From names to speech patterns which fall outside the norms of the genre, the shifting points of view, and the changing tone of the writer's voice, this was a difficult book to read.

The premise was strong and I had high hopes, but the story of Eliza and Allen was not compelling enough to satisfy my original interest in this story.

The time period..... delectable
The characters.... delicious.
The clothing, the careers, the settings, the way they travel, everything was impeccably done in this third book.
Yes, I read it before the other 2 were even on my radar. BUT since reading this one, The Memory of her, I did go back and read the other 2 and I am happy I did. The romance and suspense is intense and books 1&2 helped build that up.
Reading this novel was a delightful blend of Edgar Allen Poe, Jane Austen, and Agatha Christie. Even if you are not a historical fiction buff you will find intrigue and titillating romance in this novel. Bravo

This was great! The plot is engaging, the romance is incredibly hot, and the characters are incredibly compelling. Getting to watch Allen grapple with his trauma during his recovery process and Eliza's grief for her past relationship is so good. They make a deeply compelling pair and I cannot recommend this enough.

"The Memory of Her" by Bianca M. Schwarz, is the 3rd delectable book in the "Gentleman Spy Mysteries" series. The romance in this thriller will make you sizzle!

Synopsis:
Eliza Broad and Allen Strathem are both spies for England during the 1820's. Allen sustained massive injuries inflicted by Russian spies during captivity. Eliza is assigned to help Allen recover and protect him from another brutal attack from his assailants. Allen has loved Eliza since he first laid eyes on her. Will she return his love?

This book is fantastic. I love the 1820's setting. It is perfect for the atmospheric plot. The character descriptions are mentally appealing and easy to visualize. Best of all...the romance is delicious. I read this as a standalone. I will be catching up with the first two books in the series soon. This is my first book by Bianca M. Schwarz, but she is going on my favorite authors list.

"A Memory of Her" will be published April 5th.

Thank you NetGalley and Central Avenue Publishing, for allowing me to review this outstanding e-book. I appreciate you!

I loved the first 2 books and I’m really happy I was able to get my hands on the third. Super easy to read and such a good story line. I highly recommend this series

Superb plot and brilliant characters, especially Eliza. Thrilling read, thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy of the book.

Allen is a spy back in England in 1823, recovering after being tortured by Russians in the Crimea. Eliza is on her first solo mission to aid his recovery and protect him from the Russian spies who followed him home. She is moving on from parting from her former lover and Allen, who has always loved Eliza, has harrowing injuries and trauma to cope with.

This is the third in The Gentleman Spy series. The set up of the spy net in England in the 1820s made it easy to catch up, but people here for the an espionage thriller will want to start at with book 1. Romance fans might struggle starting there because the pairing in the first book (Henry and Eliza) ends amicably, book two is about He ru and another woman, and Eliza finds a new love here in book 3.

Most of Allen and Eliza’s connection seems based on their interactions in the previous books and only expanded on this story, so maybe it’s best to read in order. Eliza spends a lot of time telling us what Allen needs and feels, and he does the same with her, and maybe that’s more believable if you’ve read their friendship in the previous books. In The Memory of Her, it’s not well-established enough for me why these two people belong together.

It’s vivid in its descriptions without being long winded. There was some head-hoping and not always a smooth transition from point of view. But the cat and mouse spy game is kept me turning the pages. Allen recovers from his trauma surprisingly quickly and Eliza is a Mary Sue, but the spy game needed someone clever, so I didn’t mind it as much as I typically do.

This read as a two part story: one focusing on fortifying Allen’s house and drawing out their enemies, and the second infiltrating the Russian spies and killing their leader. The intrigue in the second part felt long and the romance felt tacked on. Fans of the first two books will probably want to read this one. It had its exciting parts, but I won’t be going back to read the other books.

Granted, it's been a bit since I read the last installment, but this book was not everything I hoped it would be. I felt lost and disconnected from the characters that I had originally enjoyed.
