ashlaz 's review for:

The Spymaster's Lady by Joanna Bourne
4.5
adventurous medium-paced
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

My first Joanna Bourne, and I will definitely be reading more from her. It's a smart, well-written historical romance. Heroine is very capable and appealing. Hero isn't very fleshed out, but still likable. 
The sex scenes do leave quite a bit to be desired. In the wise words of Lady Bird, "Who the fuck is on top their first time?!"
