So I finally get my print copy of Publishers Weekly yesterday and flip to where my review was, when on the next page I find YET ANOTHER review of an AW regular. So here's the TERRIFIC review of job's latest book, THE FORBIDDEN ROSE!
The Forbidden Rose, Joanna Bourne, Berkley Sensation, $7.99 (400p) ISBN 978-0-425-23561-4
Bourne (The Spymaster's Lady) returns to the French Revolution for her latest romance, this time matching up an English spy and a French aristocrat. Marguerite de Fleurignac, a noblewoman who smuggles emigres to England, encounters William Doyle in the charred remains of her chateau outside of Paris. She needs sanctuary and agrees to let him escort her through the French countryside. Though she pretends to be Scottish and he claims to be French, no one in this book seems to be able to keep secrets: William knows Marguerite's identity, she and the French secret police both know he is hunting her father, and everyone, includin gthe secret police and the British, knows everything about the smugglers. Nonetheless, the romance is sweet, and once William and Marguerite admit their love, the ensuing adventure story is everything a spy thriller should be. (June)
Tons of good quotes in that one, lady! YAY YOU!!
