Bourne is so crafty and subtle and clever that I’d easily put her in my top five writers of anything, never mind romance. But even in historical romance, where I give a lot more leeway to swashbuckling, most of the books I’ve read have annoyed me. I’ve just lived in DC too long and know too many people doing intelligence work. Contemporaries are the worst because it seems like authors think every intelligence officer is a Navy SEAL who runs around shooting people a la Jack Bauer. Now, I’ll say that normally spy romance doesn’t particularly appeal to me. After this I have two more to go that have been written and one that’s due to come out…uh…this year I think maybe? And it’s my understanding that will be the last of this series. I’ve read My Lord and Spymaster and The Spymaster’s Lady so this is my third by her. Well, technically, I’m not behind so much as rationing them. This month’s TBR Challenge these was Series Catch-Up and I am way behind on the Spymaster series by Joanna Bourne.
