<From The Pedestal, Sunday, July 6, 2008>
Karen, raised My Lord and Spymaster by Joanna Bourne to The Pedestal.
The reasons were:
Another great historical masquerading behind an Avon Romance type cover. In anyone else's hands this would be just a romance between a fleet owners daughter and a fleet owner/ship captain. It's a lot more exciting and colorful in Bourne's hands. Adrian Hawkhurst and Doyle are back as secondary characters and you learn a little more about Adrian who is now Head of Section.

Violet added:
I'll give it a try since I liked the "The Spymaster's Lady," but I have to say that "My Lord and Spymaster" is one of the stupidest titles ever. It reminds me of the similarly poorly titled Karen Hawkins books "Her Master and Commander" and "Her Officer and Gentleman." What dreck! I know authors rarely have control over titles or covers, so I don't blame them, but someone was asleep at the wheel. Check that. Many someones were asleep at the wheel.
