A Portrait of Loyalty by Roseanna White

 In this third book in the Codebreakers series, we follow Lilian Blackwell, the talented photographer Arabella met in the previous book, and the Russian linguist, Zivon Marin, who has fled his homeland after Bolshevist activists murdered his fiancee. Lilian is torn because she loves her work printing and doctoring photos for the secret British intelligence agency, but hates having to hide what she does from her mother.  Zovon is mourning the loss of his betrothed, and his brother whom he believes died in a train accident. As the two grieving hearts come together they find in each other the joy and comfort that hadn't even hoped for.  But forces outside them seem determined to tear the two apart. 

I enjoyed this last book as well as I liked the other two books in this series.  They are sweet, clean romances with a little mystery and intrigue thrown in.  The characterizations are interesting and complex. The Christian elements in this one were, maybe, a little heavier handed than in the previous ones, but I am ok with that. The way Ms White describes spiritual promptings is similar to my experience with the Holy Spirit.  I am sad to have come to the end of this series, but I beleive she has one or two more I haven't read yet.
