The Spymaster's Lady (Spymasters, #1)
by
This was the Game she played so long and well. Again, she was the little fox who outwitted them all.
Oh, how I adored this book. Grey and Annique were fabulous characters as were Doyle and Adrian, whose stories I look forward to reading next. The dialog and banter they all engaged in was delightful. I was surprised several times as the tale unfolded and very much enjoyed the way in which Annique expressed herself. My first of Joanna Bourne's work and certainly not my last.

It was Grey who held her, and it was Robert. The same man. She did not think she could hold this knowledge in her soul and not be destroyed by it."

The pieces hovered before her like hummingbirds while her hands flew in circles around them. He stopped, fascinated. The girl was such an odd compendium of talents. She used just the tips of her fingers, soft as the wind. ”Is it hard to do that? Juggle with the different shapes?�"
