I think that of the books in this series so far, Grace might just be my favorite. She took the situation she was put into in hand and made the most of it. I really appreciated how she in a way brought Bram back to life through her words and actions.
There is a high level of spice in this book, including BDSM so please be aware before picking it up.
My only complaint, more of a personal preference to be honest, is the balance between consent and non-consent early in the book. I'm just not a fan of this trope typically. However, it does become clear very quickly that Grace wants to be there and to top that off, Bram would let her leave if she really didn't want to be there.
