HTML:The historical romance that began Joanna Bourne's spectacular spymaster series!
She's never met a man she couldn't deceive...until now.
She's braved battlefields. She's stolen dispatches from under the noses of heads of state. She's played the worldly courtesan, the naive virgin, the refined British lady, even a Gypsy boy. But Annique Villiers, the elusive spy known as the Fox Cub, has finally met the one man she can't outwit.… (més)
The author's suggested reading order puts this book at number 2 as it takes place in England & France in 1802. I like these kind of spy stories, especially with female spies. ( )
I liked this more as it went along. The hero and heroine are both brave, smart, capable, and likable people at their core (though they definitely do unlikable things from time to time), and they have interesting jobs, and a very complex relationship. This kept my interest. I also really liked how the French characters had believable word choices and perspectives and that Bourne didn't just write "she said in a French accent" and call it a day.

This book is rather outside my usual reading lists, although I do like a good historical fiction from time to time. It was a combination of a comment from a friend and a hilarious takedown of the ridiculous cover that made me throw caution to the winds and take a chance on the book. Overall, I liked it all right, although I was from time to time very annoyed with each of the main characters for acting foolishly or inexcusably. The best parts of the plot were the history and the intrigue; it's worth reading for that. ( )

She was willing to die, of course, but she had not planned to do it so soon, or in such a prolonged and uncomfortable fashion, or at the hands of her own countrymen.

The feeling of him not touching her... Lovemaking is of the mind, not a grappling of anatomies. There was nothing Grey did not know about leading her mind where he wanted it to go.
It was easier to talk about Plato when your hands were tied.
