review 1: I have had this book on my kindle for months and kept passing over it. But when I read Ms. Callaway's novella a Widow Vanishes in the Scandalous Summer Night collection - and Percy and Gavin were mentioned in that book, I had to read this book. I LOVED this book! It was a little of everything and a whole lotta hot and steamy love scenes (I am still fanning myself!). There is a mystery, forbidden love, a tortured hero, a truly refreshing heroine and some much needed closure for some characters from the first book. The writing is wonderful and the story moves at a good pace. Nothing felt rushed and the story never dragged. I would most definitely recommend this book. But be warned, a "clean" romance this is not. If explicit sex scenes bother you - this book is not for you.... more If like me, you like them hot - this one is scorching!! But I never felt like the scenes were over the top or gratuitous - they were all very well done. I am looking forward to reading the other two books in this series, while waiting for the new series to be released.
review 2: I would rate this story somewhere between a 3.4 and a 3.6. The story came similar to others in this genre. The element were similar and the outcome somewhat predictable.What made this different was that the heroine wasn't a push over, mamby-pambi , whinny, clingy chit. She was outspoken and didn't flee at a shift in the wind. The mystery was well established, the characters were real and it wasn't until closer to the end did I realize that the book was 2nd in the series. Overall, I don't think I would ever re-read this story, well maybe it I was locked in a closet and waited for someone to come home to resecue me. Otherwise there really wasn't anything notable about the story. less
