Wow. 

Honestly I’m pretty blown away by this one. I wanted the story to keep going so I could keep exploring the characters. IMO that’s a sign of a great storyteller. 

I knew as soon as Valentine told Ker that he had a secret that would ruin them he was responsible for her dad’s death. That didn’t ruin the story for me I was already invested in the mystery and the adventure by then.

The storyline and character development exceeded my expectations for a book I expected to mostly erotica and smut scenes. 

There’s plenty of fiery hot action in this book but it’s balanced nicely by the plot and character development. 

Wilder left me wanting more of the characters. I’m delighted that there are more books in this series and I can’t wait to pick them up.
