Fun reading how the "honorary" Cynster wound up loving his wife despite all intentions to the contrary. Minus points for recycling the cyanide poisoning scene from Devil's Bride but only reversing which spouse smells the poison.

Great scenes with the plum picking and harvest festival. Nice development of the villain but any Criminal Minds fan had it figured out from the first "accident".

I liked this Chillingsworth book better than most of the others in the series. The plot was, while easy to guess, still managed to hold some tension throughout.

Loved, loved, loved this book!! Francesca was a fantastic heroine; assertive without being pushy, and she doesn't hold a grudge. She still has a temper, but she's not a bitch. And I also loved how she was able to separate the passionate side of their relationship from the emotional side. This is a historical lady who likes sex, and even when she's mad at Gyles, is happy to get herself some. Woot Woot! She made this book a pleasure for me.
Gyles was too angsty, to the point where I thought it was all over-done, but I have liked this book a lot more than the last couple in the series.

Boring and too long for how obvious the twist is.
