The Spymaster's Lady Audiobook

Possibly one of the best if not the best audio books I have listened to. The story itself is very interesting and different from your regular historical romance, there is no misunderstanding or questioning of feelings and actions, it is a very nice romance woven into a secret agent plot. There were several scenes that were jaw dropping, first was at the beginning of the book when Anik was acting in the cell where she was locked up, picturing such vivid details of a dance in a gipsy camp where she is wearing almost nothing. You have to listen to the narrator of the book though, she just did it with the most seductive French accent ever. The second scene is when they are trying to escape France and were pretending to be Germans, it was glorious acting. The third favorite scene is one involving a bath tub in England…utterly delicious.
The heroine is my all time favorite character, there is no one else out there like her. I have to say I have read a lot of PNR/UF as well as fantasy and this girl was better then any sword wielding, badass vampire/warewolf/witch.
The entire book does not have one dull moment. The audio book is spectacular, the narrator is very gifted, she portrayed not only variety of voices but variety of accents as well, which is something I have not encountered in other audio books.

I would recommend this book to everyone.
