My Lord and Spymaster

Spymaster

By: Joanna Bourne

Narrated by: Kirsten Potter

Sebastian Kennett is a self-made man - passionate, adventurous, and powerful; a master trader and international shipper; a man who'll risk everything for a profit.

Jess Whitby grew up on the mean streets of the East End. Her father's a fine rogue and sometime smuggler. His canny trading and her brilliant management have built them a fortune.

Then one of Sebastian's ships goes down and a traitor is to blame. All the Whitbys' money won't protect Jess's father from an accusation of treason. What happens when they fall in love - the man hungry for vengeance and the woman who's going to save her father at all costs?

Critic reviews

"Brimming with adventure, intrigue, wit, sensuality and colorful historical details, this is an adventure reader's dream come true." ( RT Book Reviews)

Couldn’t be better

The characters are well drawn & the story is not only entertaining but plausible. Ms Bourne has an amazing way with dialogue, descriptive &not contrived or stilted.
Ms Potter can do just about any character & accent, both male & female, each one with it’s own distinct sound & personality. She keeps these voices throughout all of Ms Bourne’s books.
I enjoy listening to these books over & over they never get old.

Good book, great narration

Any additional comments?

Another engaging, can't put it down, story from Joanna Bourne. The story is well written and the characters are engaging. The narrator is the icing on the cake: Kirsten Potter is excellent with dialects and voices.

Superior Performance of an Excellent Story.

Joanna Bourne is one of my favorite authors. This amazing performance enhanced my enjoyment of the story.

Terrific book

Characters you liked immediately, a plot that kept me coming back for the next chapter. Wonderful narration, good writing, just enough steamy sensuousness, off to find the next in the series.

Nice..

Any additional comments?

This was a really good read. It got a little boring for a minute but came back soon enough. I liked Jess and Sabastian a lot. Could barely stand Claudia or Quintin. And loved Aunt Eunice. I was surprised at one of the bad guys, and disappointed but they both really got what was coming to them. An entertaining book with sexual tension and great sex.

As to the narrator: As always, Ms. Potter did a wonderful job. I never get tired of listening to her..
