An exciting and action-packed romance, but one of those instances where the characters fall in love because circumstances threw them together. Worth a read for sure, if you’re looking for something light-hearted. I don’t think I’ll be reading the sequels, though.
It was a interesting book, some history
The book was okay, not too predictable, have some good twists. Enjoyed reading.
Didn’t get past second chapter
The heroine was dependent but not completely helpless.. Definitely a plus for me.
Good easy read.
