If you liked Balanced on a Blades Edge, you'll like this one
Lindsay Buroker accurately portrays the delectable and often suspenseful inner turmoil that is present at the start of any relationship. This book was no exception.

This wasn't bad but it required suspending a lot more disbelief than the others. To its credit, the book did kind of call itself out for putting the king in such an absurd position. However, I don't feel like the romance established in this one represents a particularly good match. Beyond that, the adventure was pretty good, the plot and action were both decent, and it was still a fun read.

This was my favorite so far. Maybe because it was more a romance than the others but I think because it was more concise. It opens up a lot of new directions for the stories to go in but I think I'll stop here. This is Kaika's story with King Angulus. She has been painted as a thrill seeker, likes to flirt, and by mind invasion we know she thinks about sex a lot, not always thinking about free men either. Yet, she isn't painted as a "man stealer" or other evil entity and she is kind of liked after the preceding books. I was glad that she got her own book and we got more into her mind and how she is a adrenaline junky at heart. Not the norm for females and even not excepted by many societies. I think I identify with her as in youth, I always was the roller-coaster, hang-gliding, and bungie jumping person. I wanted her happy ending, which is not really an ending but a direction. She will always be running. I loved the King's thoughts too. His fascination with Kaika and coming to understand her better. I loved it. Quick great edition to the series.
