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.

LOLLLLLL yep. The later books in the series are not necessarily any less ridiculous, but they're less annoyingly so. She's very good at what she does.
