I can't say enough about how much I love this book!!! Anyone who has come into contact with me within the past month has had to endure me raving about this book!! I'm not sorry!!
I love how Kelypas builds on the foundation laid in Cold Hearted Rake; she really allows us to see the softer side of Rhys and the unyielding side of Helen, bringing more depth to two characters who felt a bit flat in the previous book. I also think this book perfectly blends internal and external conflict and introduces new characters at the right moments to help move the plot along without pulling focus from the romance.
Few things I like better than when a hero is INSTANTLY obsessed with the heroine and this book really delivers. Also, nobody writes a declaration scene like Kleypas - I will remember Rhys' words literally until my dying day. I love the very sexy and explicit negotiations of consent in this book. Truly outstanding in its field.
