It was ok. Certainly not the best Ms. Laurens has put out, but far from the worst I've read. Fun to revisit characters from past books.
I read once where Ms. Laurens spoke about writing historicals and how the most important thing was for the book to be "real". She dropped the ball on this one. Lots of "unreal-ness" to it. A spy divulging his mission in its entirety to the first pretty skirt to walk by? Not real. A military man with decades of experience in espionage behind him flounders around with stupid ideas while the heroine comes up with better ones.
It won't stop me from reading the rest of them, but I'm no longer "itching" to read them.
