review 1: I was looking for a good beach read and a mystery set in Constantinople, with a love story in the middle, seemed to be a good choice. But I must say that the author overdid the love story and didn´t put enough mystery in the book.Mari Sinclair is a half English, half Greek woman living in the Ottoman Empire and spying for the English. She draws plans of important army facilities, but when she is nearly killed by a mysterious sniper, the Brits decide to hire Major Bennet Prestwood, a Peninsular War veteran, to keep an eye on her.I was thinking James Bond in skirts, but it turned out to be more of a RomCom than a spy story. Ok, it had its funny moments and some interesting period details; however, I was expecting something more elaborate. Nevertheless, I light read for the ... morebeach!
review 2: Set in 1815, Constantinople Mari Sinclair is a spy for England with Major Bennett Prestwood as her protector. Mari is part Greek and her loyaltys are with the Greek as she works with England to free Grece from Turkey. I learned alot about these countries histories from this book. The setting much like middle eastern countries with harems and luxury womens quarters. The romance is excellent with very sexy scenes. There are mysteries in mysteries as to who is after the spies and why. The author covers all the bases with no questions left unanswered. less

Eh. It just didn't do anything for me - just read on autopilot. The ending felt way too contrived.
