I find this series delightful. I thought this book in particular was a good exploration of how badly damaging the kind of abuse Rothhaven suffered can be to one's sense of self-worth.

ETA: I was less enamored of this upon an audio reread. The romance fell flat, and hearing Quinn and Stephen, whom I normally respect, speak so dismissively and negatively of Robert because of his disabilities made me very unhappy. I’m doing a full reread of the series on audio, and so far this is by far the weakest.  I’ve revised my rating down accordingly.
