The Spymaster's Lady by Joanna Bourne

2.0

---

Getting past the cover....(I do wish historical romance books would use more discrete covers)...I didn't like this book at all. I typically like Napoleonic spy drama but this one just seemed forced and contrived. In short, a French Spy (but one who never spied against England of course) helps two English Spies out of a French prison. She is then captured, escapes, is captured, escapes (etc., etc.) until the two spies fall in love. (Of course.) To me it just didn't have any life to it and I didn't much care if the characters fell in love or not. I would have stopped reading this one after the first couple of chapters were I not snowed in with no other books to read.
