My Lord and Spymaster The Spymaster Series Joanna Bourne Books

This is actually book 2 according to Amazon and Goodreads and the opening introduction. Ok enough Proofreading. I liked this book more than book 1. I almost skipped the book after reading some reviews; and, almost went ahead to read book 3 with better reviews but I’m glad I stuck with the series order. Jess Whitby is a smart, brave, and interesting heroine. Sebastian is a strong and worthy hero. Good mystery. I wish there was more time to savor the HEA, so I wish there was an epilogue.

My Lord and Spymaster The Spymaster Series Joanna Bourne Books Reviews

I read the first book of this series, The Spymaster's Lady, and really enjoyed it. I don't know why I never bothered to pick up the next book in the series when it came out. I finally decided to get it off my wish list and order it. I really wish I hadn't. Everything that I loved about the author's style in the last book was repeated here, but it really didn't work for me.

What I really liked about the last book was the flow of the language. The heroine was French and her thoughts and dialogue really felt authentic to me. The wordiness didn't bother me because it was all part of the experience of Annique (most of the book was from her pov). That same style was duplicated in this book. What was wonderful and had a great feel for Annique was horribly tedious for Jess.

I thought Jess was going to be really interesting. I mean, with her past she had to have some interesting character motivations. Unfortunately she wasn't anything special. Her actions made no sense to me and even though she was supposed to be some genius mind I honestly couldn't see it. She was a very weak character (even though we're told again and again that she's strong) and caved to whatever pressure was placed on her. It was irritating to read about.

I really didn't like Sebastian's character. He was basically a carbon copy of Grey from The Spymaster's Lady. Grey too was overwhelmingly dominant. He was very much so an "I know best" kind of guy. It worked for him because of his position as spymaster. I didn't mind him overwhelming Annique and controlling her actions because she was the enemy and to act otherwise would be stupid. That does not mean it was ok for Sebastian though. Why exactly is he acting that way? His controlling, egotistical behavior was so irritating.

Now, why exactly did these people fall in love? I really have no idea. One moment they're lusting and hating each other and then the author tells us they're in love. I just disliked the characters and couldn't get into the book.

One thing I do have to admit though... I really want to read Adrian's book. I liked him in the last book and I liked him in this one. I truly hope that he won't be a carbon copy of the other two male leads though.
I read The Spymaster's Lady first and liked it very much but actually thought this one was better. Bourne's writing is truly excellent. There is far more substance to her stories and characters than most romances. She uses incredibly descriptive language without being overdone. There are many things that commend this romance non-stop action, a strong but feminine heroine, a deft weaving of facts from late 18th century London (English spying for Napoleon), and sexual tension that was enticing and believable. Jess Whitby is a fair-haired, brown-eyed girl who has had a hard life as a waif, a thief and lost her first love. Her father, once believed lost, returns to build a shipping empire with her. Now she is committed to save her sea captain father from being convicted and hung as a spy. She has skills that have preserved her life and made them rich and she will use them all to free him. I was a bit surprised as how patient Sebastian was with her, including when she finally came to him, but then he was so in love with her, he could put her needs above his. Anyway, it all worked. Great job Joanna Bourne!!
MY LORD AND SPYMASTER is part of Joanna Bourne's Spymaster series. It is the story of Jess Whitby and Sebastian Kennett. Jess is desperately trying to find evidence to free her father who Sebastian has accused of being a traitor to England. When Jess and Sebastian meet, Jess suspects that Sebastian, himself, is the traitor.

As is true with Bourne's novels, there is much mistrust between the hero and heroine. Of course, the two learn to trust and love one another. There is a beautiful scene with "rug sharks" that I thought was the highlight of the book.

I'd give this one about a 3.5 rating. I enjoyed it, but there was nothing compelling enough about the story to read it again. I was not as interested in the two main characters as I was in the secondary characters in the story. I was more interested in reading about Doyle and Hawk.
Joanna Bourne can write a wonderful romance! I read My Lord and Spymaster from cover to cover in three days - I didn't want it to end. The relationship between Sebastian and Jess came alive on the pages! There is intrigue, mystery, and betrayal... everything that makes a good romance novel. I wish I could give My Lord and Spymaster a five star review but found a few small details lacking. The story's beginning grabs the reader and holds on tight through most of the book. However, the final scenes lack the "high impact" found throughout the majority of My Lord and Spymaster. I was also disappointed not to find our Grey and Annique mentioned as Adrian and Doyle are major characters. My advice is to read The Spymaster's Lady, if you haven't already, and then read My Lord and Spymaster - definitely worth the time!

One a side note... We are briefly introduced to Jess and her Father, Josiah, in The Spymaster's Lady. Josiah is the smuggler who rescues Adrian when he and Annique are running for their lives away from LeBlanc. Annique is familiar with Josiah and his smuggling business and gives Adrian the password needed to safely board his ships. Adrian returns Josiah's favor later in the book when he removes a girl from under Lazarus' protection. At the time we do not understand this subplot but it becomes quite clear in My Lord and Spymaster that the girl is Josiah's daughter, Jess. I really enjoyed this aspect of both books - quite clever!
