There are so many reasons to like this book. One observation I gave to make is that while all the books in the series are standalone, there are characters and events that overlap, so I knew Riona before BROKEN VOW and she was not very likeable. This book started to show her closed off and off putting attitude from the start but we get the benefit of seeing her facade crumble over time. Another characteristic of the books is that they all have a different feel to them. This one was not as dark as some of the others but it was more intense in other ways.
Raylan couldn’t have been more perfect. His protective nature and his ability to read her and not take offense when she was trying to be deliberately acerbic was what she needed. Their passionate encounters - especially the first one - well, and the second one - were ‘get me a fan’ hot. He was so effective because he wasn’t manipulative. He was honest and giving her what he knew she wanted even if she didn’t.
I loved that we got to see Dante and Simone’s wedding. They were the couple that really twisted my heart. To top it all off, I started playing the song “All Of Me” when it is mentioned in the book and it was a poignant backdrop to the words that followed about the wedding. It was goosebump worthy.
In short, another phenomenal addition to this series! Read it!
