6/5/2023 0 Comments Joanna bourne the black hawk![]() ![]() At the risk of sounding like a cheesy romantic, this book has some of the most poignant, touching love scenes I’ve read, and it’s almost as if you can feel the emotion through the pages. ![]() Justine and Hawker meet as thirteen year olds - already veterans of the service - in revolutionary France, and then again years later in different periods, still in their respective professions, together but apart. The story moves in and out of the past and present, tracing the story of how Justine and Hawker’s relationship came to be, came to end, and reached the point where they are now. Bourne has a gift for writing lyrical prose and weaving characters and stories together. In anticipation of Joanna Bourne’s next novel, Rogue Spy, I reread this one. Despite having reread this several times now, The Black Hawk did not disappoint. Who is trying to kill Justine? And what does that have to do with him? And more importantly, can he trust her? ![]() He also happens to be the head of British Intelligence. She’s managed to make her way to her ex-lover, Adrian Hawker, the only man she can trust to save her when in trouble. Someone has just tried to kill Justine De Cabrillac, former French spy of the Secret Police, now living in England after the end of the Napoleonic Wars. ![]() Disclaimer: This is one of my favourite books ever. ![]()
