My name is Sylvie Duchene and I am a dancer. There is no network. I am just a dancer. I know nothing. Please…I swear it…

An unknown location, occupied France, 1944

Dropping silently behind enemy lines, Sylvia Crichton, codename Monique, is determined to fight for the country of her birth and save it from its stranglehold.

As one of the dancers at the nightclub Mirabelle, Sylvie’s mission is to entertain the club’s German clientele and learn their secrets. In a world of deception and lies, she can trust no one. Not even Mirabelle’s enigmatic piano player Felix… a part of the resistance or a collaborator?

But despite her SOE training, nothing can prepare Sylvie for the horrors she is about to face – or the pain of losing those she grows closer to undercover…

This is a pageturning and gripping romance set in occupied France during WW2 for fans of Pam Jenoff !

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Elisabeth’s writing career began in 2013 when she entered Harlequin's So You Think You Can Write contest and it turned out she could. She writes romantic Historical fiction as Elisabeth Hobbes and Historical folklore/fantasy inspired romance as Elisabeth J. Hobbes.

She teaches Primary school but would rather write full time because unlike five year olds her characters generally do what she tells them. She spends most of her spare time reading and is a pro at cooking one-handed while holding a book.

She lives in Cheshire because the car broke down there in 1999 and she never left. Elisabeth has two almost grown kids, two cats, two dogs and a husband. The whole family are on the autistic spectrum and that probably includes the pets! She dreams of having a tidy house one day.

Historical Fiction with a dash of thrill!!
This historical fiction is set around the time of WWll, when Allied forces are making their way into occupied France to put an end to Nazi’s power. Sylvia is a French born English spy who is sent back to France to aid The Resistance. She is a very good dancer and disguises herself as Monique, in one of the nightclubs called Mirabelle in Nantes. The plan is for her to mingle with German soldiers to pass on the information back to The Resistance in an effort to free her home country France from the hold of Nazis. She meets her ally, Felix who is a pianist at the same place. Is he really an ally or a opponent disguised as a friend.I really enjoyed the writing style of Elisabeth. The story really flows smoothly and is very easy to read and enjoy. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is a lover of historical fiction with some added dash of thriller!! Go get your copy now!This was a 5 star read for me and thank you #netgalley, #harpercollinsuk and #elisabethhobbes for the free copy of eARC in exchange of my honest review!

And I’m sorry it’s over! My favorite genre is WWII and this has been one of my favorite books in that genre. Great characters, a wonderful story and a perfect ending. I’m about to find out what else the author has written. She’s now one of my favorites!

I really enjoyed this story for the historical aspects as well as the story of the people in it. The one less star was because the missions Sylvie was assigned, all went off pretty much as good as could be. As in too good. It left out the intensity and tension and danger of the times. So it was like a rated G WWII spy booking that aspect. But not so much for the romance. Overall though, recommended.

I enjoyed this book. It’s not overly complicated. It takes a small town in France, Nantes and gives you a picture perfect look at this town during the last few years of WW2. You will meet the members of the resistance group who are realistic as is this story is.

The Secret Agent was an engaging story, and I enjoyed reading more about the brave men and women involved in the French Resistance, but the grammar sometimes fell short. A bit more scrutiny by the copy editor would have gone a long way.

WW2 fictional characters of Resistance based around Nantes. Some reads are repetitive as though trying to make up word count but this story flowed pretty well from start to finish.

It was quite predictable that she would fall in love with Felix and they would end up in France together. There wasn't too much espionage for Silvie but it showed how her inexperience easily got her into trouble. Dieter may have been the enemy but he was also human with feelings.

Brilliant! I couldn't put it down. Although it deals with the perils and dangers of war time agents, this is a story of the trials and tribulations of a young girls life and loves.
