Started out great! Loved the mystery/adventure element in the beginning. But it felt to me like we lost all of that and things turned more emotionally unbelievable about 40% in, once the two main characters meet back up for good.
Started out really strong for me, but ended up feeling like too many different stories rolled into one. A bit unfocused for me. However, really enjoy the author's writing style and her knowledge of France/French, and it was still an enjoyable read. Will definitely continue the series!
Well, you know. I'm sure there are problems with this book, like the fact that it's crack instead of a, you know, nutritious meal. But it is particularly fine romance-adventure crack, and it lifted the burdens of a heavy day off my shoulders. I had to laugh at some of the things the main character got up to. The other characters describe her as ruthless and wily. They understate the case, I assure you. I ended up turning on Les Mis throughout :)
Bourne's Spymaster's Lady crackles with wit and sizzling chemistry. The sharp dialogue kept me hooked, and the characters are both intelligent and undeniably sexy. However, a few anachronisms occasionally jarred me out of the Regency era, hence the slight deduction in stars. Still, a thoroughly enjoyable read for lovers of historical romance with a modern edge.

I loved this book.
Annique is my favorite type of heroine; clever, warm and brave. Her relationship with Grey was remarkably believable, with all of its twists and complications. And boy were there a lot of twists and complications! But the hero and heroine get their happy ending and I was left eagerly anticipating the stories of the supporting cast.
This book is very well-written and plotted and I highly recommend it! -Rebekka J

Everyone was just generally unlikable and I'm learning that bodiceripper style romances are not to my taste.

Graphic: Sexual violence
I quite liked the details of the story, how the characters were characterised with tiny (or major in the case of Annique) traits that make them much more realistic and relatable.
As for the story, well, nice summer read
