Part romance, part spy-mystery story, this book grabs your attention and hold on to the end. While some of the enemies of our hero and heroine seem a little one-dimensional, the main characters themselves are well-drawn and believable. The romantic tension between them works. The historical setting, too, is well done. One note of caution, though: the sex scenes include some mild S&M and although there were plot reasons for this, this book might not be best for younger readers.
