ABOUT THE BOOK
Evil is masquerading in the halls of Parliament, and Sir Bertrand Thorndike is tasked with investigating from the inside. With his new position as a member of the House of Commons, he has access to the power brokers of English government. His tactic is to listen and learn, careful not to reveal his true motives, and he’s quickly inducted into the mysterious Theban Club.
Miss Philippa Cashel's mission, the Princess Charlotte Eleos School for Women in Need, is thriving with donations, and the students are learning skills to help them earn their livings in honorable ways. But when a dear friend's past is revealed by blackmail, Philippa must wrestle with the question, Is it ever right to do the wrong thing?
Bertie's and Philippa's missions collide when Bertie uncovers a dangerous plot involving vulnerable women. He and Philippa join forces against the corruption threatening to topple England's government, all while navigating their outward reputations and inward feelings for each other.

MY THOUGHTS.....
"Is it ever right to do the wrong thing?" This is a question we've all pondered, and it's a major theme explored in Erica Vetsch's new book, A Scheming in Parliament. Set in London, in 1816, this story revolves around corruption in the English Parliament and the newly appointed member of the House of Commons who is determined to correct it.
This page-turner is filled with adventure, mystery, and inspiration. I loved the spiritual themes that are woven throughout the story: praying for answers, understanding that we may have to wait for His answers, and recognizing that God will forgive anyone!
Talk about endearing characters! Aunt Dolly, Marcus, Charlotte, and of course, Philippa and Bertie! Philippa Cashel believes that her relationship with Sir Bertrand Thorndike is only a working partnership, but it doesn't take long to recognize that there's so much more! Romance? Oh, it's there and it's sweet! Bertie & Philippa experience the best kind...a slow burn that could easily burst into flame! Will we see it happen?
I loved the reunion with characters we've met before in this second book of the Of Cloaks & Daggers series. My only complaint? Wondering how long I have to wait for another visit to the Haverly Universe!
I highly recommend 'A Scheming in Parliament' to all who enjoy inspirational Regency romance!
I received a complimentary copy from the author and publisher via Net Galley, but I also purchased a print copy. There was no obligation for a positive review.
