I liked this one better than the last Crown's Spies novel. Again, the Heroine is incredibly likable, as she is cunning and a warrior in her own right. You love her temper and her abilities. And she gets to use them a little more than the last Heroine did in the first Crown's Spies book. The Hero is likable too, especially later on in the book. The games these two play are very fun and enjoyable, and you just love his Butler, who acts more like a dictator than a servant. I still don't like this series as much as I enjoyed her Highland series or Buchanan series, but I'm out to finish them all the same.
