I read (and liked) the first two in this series quite a while ago now, but I put this one off because reading about Daniel (who seemed annoying in Elle's flashbacks and would be dealing with PTSD in this story) sounded less appealing and then his love interest is a Confederate spy and Cole had said this book broke her. Now that I finally read this, though, I think it's my favorite of the series! I fell in love with both Daniel and Janeta almost immediately and I loved reading about how they came to terms with their pasts and learned new ways of being themselves. This is dark and complicated, but it's also hopeful. Alyssa Cole is amazing.
