This book had so much promise....that's all I'm going to say on that.

So I got this book free in a goody bag from a writing conference I attended for romance writers. And, shockingly, GoodReads did not have this assumed bodice-ripper in its library! I am the first to admit to reading it!
Sue me. I love a good romance now and again, and I thought this one was pretty good. It's no Gentle Rogue, of course, but let's get real - what is?
I liked the spy angle the story had, wished there was more sex, though. How's THAT for a smut book review? NOT ENOUGH SEX, PEOPLE! IT NEEDED MORE HOT SEX ACTION!
