Very disappointing

Quick synopsis:- French/English female poses as a possible spy to protect herself from an enemy and is pursued by the hero trying to determine whether she really IS a French agent. This story is convoluted and poorly written. The leading man has some appeal but the leading lady is no such thing. Maybe I am just old fashioned but if you are going to be the heroine in romantic fiction please don’t act like a slut in the first chapter. She ruined the whole book for me and half way through I started turning two or three pages at a time just to be done with it.
