A Scoundrel, A Spy, and A Secret. Will She Ever Learn the Truth?
Desperate to avoid a second loveless marriage, Anne Howell hides out in a cave on the Welsh coast. If she can get to England, she should be safe from her stepfather’s long reaching hand. She thinks her prayers are answered when she rescues a shipwrecked sailor, Thomas Armstrong, who agrees to help her, claiming he has ties to Queen Elizabeth I. Though she fears he may be an accomplished liar, she has no choice but to trust him, especially when a secret from her past puts spies on her trail and threatens to destroy her future.
Upon learning his true mother was executed in place of a dethroned queen, Thomas Armstrong sets out to find the cowardly monarch and avenge his mother’s death. Broke and in debt, he is finally on the verge of reaching his goal when his ship goes down in a storm and he ends up owing his life to the honest and forthright Anne Howell. He fears his quest is finished – until he learns there are those who would pay handsomely to have Anne in their possession, enough to clear his debt and enable him to pursue the revenge he seeks. But in helping Anne he has lost his heart, and now faces a devastating choice – remain loyal to his goal of avenging his mother or follow his feelings to an uncertain future with Anne.

More from Olivia
I’ve always been drawn to English history and back in 2009, I was blessed to visit London with my daughter. We immersed ourselves in the area’s rich history by going to museums, visiting Westminster Abbey, Windsor Castle, Temple Church, and so much more. Of course, a tour of the city wouldn’t have been complete without a visit to the Tower of London. There I learned about the tragic and short life of Lady Jane Grey, who was the queen of England for nine days.
Later that day, I found a postcard that displayed the famous painting, The Execution of Lady Jane Grey by Paul Delaroche. My mind started racing and the seeds for the Secrets of the Queens series took root. I wondered what would’ve happened if Lady Jane Grey had lived. A Life Reclaimed, the third book in the Secrets of the Queens, is not about Lady Jane Grey per se, but it follows the story of a young man whose life has been changed because of her escape from death.
I hope you enjoy my tale of mystery, intrigue, and love as much as I enjoyed writing it.

My Review
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Olivia Rae’s Secrets of the Queens series, A Life Renewed and A Life Redeemed. I was excited to have the opportunity to read the third installment, A Life Reclaimed. I was not disappointed. Even this is a series, each one can be read as a stand alone. It was great meeting Anne and Thomas in this one. I was instantly captivated with their story. I felt like I was part of their adventure and could not put the book down until the end. I loved every single page.
A Life Reclaimed will be getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly believe fans of clean historical romance will not want to miss out on this one or the previous two books from the Secrets of the Queens. I will be eagerly awaiting more releases from Olivia Rae.
I received a copy of A Life Reclaimed from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
