Charmed and Dangerous

This was the first Jane Ashford book I read and, I think, one of her best. The plot was well laid-out and grabbed me right away. The hero was suitably dashing :), and the heroine (thank god) did not sink into the depths of Romance Heroine Stupidity, a disease that seems to be going around. The exotic locales and espionage make this wonderful escape story. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes Elizabeth Peters, Barbara Michaels, Susan Wiggs, or Lisa Kleypas.
