The Spymaster's Lady

3/5. Historical het romance. She is an elusive French agent. He is a British chief of section. They meet in a prison cell.

I enjoyed this, which is quite an extraordinary statement considering that there is a plot point about her being blind for the first chunk of the book and then she is cured by getting hit really hard in the head. And yet I still enjoyed it, despite that and also the inevitable mistaken identity nonsense that followed. There's just a richness to the secondary characters, and a pull of true tension to the conflicts of loyalty.
