My Lord and Spymaster by Joanna Bourne
5.0
So good!!! Jess is such a smart heroine in so many ways - book smart, street smart and somewhat heart smart. Sebastien was a good foil for her, though I didn't like him as much as Jess. It was so interesting to learn about everything involved in running a shipping business and see the world through the eyes of someone who calculates price and profit on all the items she sees. Plus I love historicals that aren't afraid to get the characters dirty, or have people who don't roam in high society.
I did call the villain after a significant action on one character's part, though I thought that the siblings reaction ran a little false and was hoping for some mis-direction. A minor quibble and not enough to spoil my enjoyment of the book.
At first I didn't remember/realize that Doyle was the same guy as the hero of [b:The Forbidden Rose|7099471|The Forbidden Rose (Spymasters, #3)|Joanna Bourne|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1383019558s/7099471.jpg|7357200] and pictured someone COMPLETELY different. I did know that Adrian was the hero of a later book. The business of being published out of chronological order is very confusing and I'm going to read them in the (non author recc'd!) order of which events happen, not the publishing order.
