One of the best things about Christi Caldwell's books is how utterly human she makes her characters. They aren't perfect or evil or all this or all that. They have flaws and strengths and make mistakes and sometimes manage to admit when they're wrong. They love and laugh and cry. And they make me care. By the end of each book, I invariably care.

Christi Caldwell's books are all good.. but I feel like the stories are half done. There are always pieces of the story that are left unfinished. I mean never big pieces but pieces that bug me. It makes a 4 or 5 star book turn into a 3.

Parts were great, parts were not. Low spice. Bizarre pacing.

I'm gonna be honest I didn't get out of this one what I had hoped to. Now, I will say that is partly my own fault for not realizing that this was a novella-length book and partly not because the story deserved to be a full-length novel. There was so much there to unpack, I mean I wish the author had spent a good two or three chapters just putting Imogen's family in place. I don't know why I always despise the heroine's mothers in these books, but this time it extended out to her sibling as well. There was so much development for both characters that I would have loved to see that just wants there.
In general, it's a great premise, with a ton of potential it just didn't pull through in the end. So far I have always been much more intrigued by the side characters and potential couples then the H and h of their respective books, here's hoping that changes with book 4 because I am really excited about this upcoming Duke's story.
