I liked this. It was enjoyable and there were a lot of elements of Sam's life as a spy. I liked that Claire was capable, that she was strong, and that most importantly, the men in her life treated her like she was intelligent enough to know what was going on around her...well, except for her late husband, but as we never see them interact in the story, that really doesn't matter.
The story revolves around spies, traitors, jewels and stolen paperwork. I liked the twists and turns in this one, and I was actually surprised as to who the traitor turned out to be, I was convinced it was another character entirely. This was nice, as this is usually something I find obvious.
The romance was mostly clean, there was sex, but the description of it was essentially as much of a fade to black as possible without actually doing so, which worked in the story.
The characters were well developed, the plot was tight and the pace was good. I enjoyed the author's writing style. This was my first Laura Landon, and I am looking forward to others by her.
