Fleur de Lis

The Gents, Book 3

De: Sarah M. Eden

Narrado por: Luone Ingram

Thirteen years ago, Henri Fortier left a tumultuous life in France to begin anew in England. His adopted country has become home, and his dearest friends, the Gents, are family. Unfortunately, ties to the past still plague him, and he’s forced to live in near destitution. Henri secretly publishes his poetry to supplement his meager income, but it is both insufficient and risky. A house party with the Gents promises a welcome distraction until he realizes that one of the guests is none other than Nicolette Beaulieu, the woman who stole—and broke—his heart years ago.

Nicolette has traveled to England for reasons far more pressing than a house party. As part of the Marquis de Lafayette’s secret network, she has been tasked with preparing for revolution. Though she has a pristine track record with the organization, her romantic history is far from perfect. This is particularly evident when she is reunited with Henri, the man who once declared his love for her. Drawn together through adventures the Gents have devised, the couple begins to tiptoe toward more tender feelings. But as sinister threats loom from all quarters, it may be too late for Henri and Nicolette’s second chance at love.

I love how this book fits in with others in the series and other series from the same author

Sometimes a bit predictable but the story holds your attention with twists and turns leading to the final result

Wonderful Addition to the Series!

The Gents series is one my my absolute favorites! I have listened to books one and two of the series multiple times since their release, and also enjoyed reading the connected novella, which is set at Christmas time and is part of The Holly and the Ivy novella collection.

The author has created such a wonderful and fun set of friends in the Gents and their wives. I would highly recommend reading this series in order, because this particular friend group is introduced so well in book one, Forget Me Not. They became some of my very favorite fictional characters and I am always sad to have to say goodbye to them at the end of each book.

In Fleur de Lis, it was eye opening to see the way both Henri and Aldric were treated by their families. It certainly made for some uncomfortable situations at the house party. It was wonderful to see the entire group of friends back together again, and to have some new characters introduced. Most importantly, Nicolette, whom apparently broke Henri’s heart three years earlier in Paris. I adore second chance love stories and this one did not disappoint. I love this series so much and anxiously await future stories!

Such a darling story!

I have enjoyed all The Gents books, but this might be the best one. The narrator does a great job with the accents, and I appreciated that since she did the first two, she was able to do this one also. Somehow, that makes the continuation of the story better for me. I also love seeing the characters again in each book, and the banter and humor among them that gets better and better with each new character. I am really looking forward to the next book!

Can joy come from disaster?

As always, I have come to love the Gents and those who love them. I want to know what comes next.

I love this series. Fun to get to know Henri better & meet Nicolette.

This book was more difficult for me to get into. I love the way Eden weaves all the characters together from the whole series. The French accent of the reader of the audio book was a little harder for me to follow than the other audio books. Can't wait to read more about Henri's story as the series goes on.
