Despite the fact that these books by Lara Adrian / Tina St. John are lacking in the ebook Format department. I'm loving them. I enjoy the Midnight Breed series and these historicals are proving to be just as good. :)

The premise is interesting. Cabal, the hero, is a stereotype, but a consistent character, whom I can empathize. But I wasn’t able to like Emmalyn as much. I can’t understand how a woman can be so insightful when it comes to business and so naive (associated with a high degree of stubbornness) as regards all other situations. This is a character who consistently puts herself in entirely avoidable danger –there were times when I just wanted to shake her...
Another problem I had with this story had to do with the plot. I think there were some historical inconsistencies, particularly in the freedom of movement that Emmalyn was allowed. However, one of my big questions was due to the timing of the sex scene. Who is the woman who chooses to have sex for the first time with a man hours after almost being raped? Even if she was saved by Cabal, how was she mentally available for it?
Finally, the end it seemed rushed and very little enlightening. What happened to Lord Hugh? How in medieval times, a commoner bastard can marry an aristocrat and keep her land? Nothing was explained, it was simply shown a happy ending.
Overall, it was an ok reading. The language is simple, but I confess I was slightly disappointed. I was expecting more.

Great ending to this trilogy! Although, she could've dragged this on for 10 books and I would have read every single one! She's amazing!!
