3.5 stars

I've read two books by this author, one I really liked probably because it was my first ever historical romance/spy book (The Spymaster's Lady) and one that I really didn't care for (My Lord and Spymaster). This book fell somewhere in the middle between those two. When the two main characters first meet, it's definitely interesting. However the main spy mission ends up not being as exciting and the romance never builds upon a real relationship, just their shared background and mutual attraction for each other. So this was good, but not quite great.

h o l l i s I have the former on my tbr so glad to hear it's the best of the bunch! are they interconnected standalones or just spy books grouped together in the same world?

They are slightly interconnected in the sense of secondary characters having more of a backstory, but if you read them in the order they were published, the stories wouldn't be in chronological order. So it would be confusing a bit either way. I think it's safe to say you can read them as standalones, I haven't read them in order (chronological or published) and it worked out fine.
