This author is new to me and for the most part, I was intrigued by certain elements and surprised by others. Surprised that the love scenes were not only plentiful but more erotic than you would find in a typical historical romance, but who's complaining? And intrigued by this group called the Jaded, their shared horrific experience, and how Galen decides to carry out his revenge. Most of this story showcased Haley's seduction, and it was well done. My only complaint was a rather weak subplot (unknown enemies trying to ferret information from the Jaded) and a rushed and unsatisfying ending. 3.5 stars.

I have really liked Renee Bernard's previous books (her Mistress series was great!). And I was not disappointed with this one at all. It was great and makes me look forward to the rest of the stories to come in this new series. I was very intrigued by the secondary characters that were introduced and will have upcoming stories, I'm sure, and can't wait to read theirs as well. Somehow she is able to make all of her books be romantic, but not too sugary sweet. Her characters usually have depth and edges to them that make them very interesting to me and make the stories have greater complexity. I highly recommend it, as well as any of her other books.

Vengeance doesn't always come out as planned.Galen desires to ruin Haley. She is ignited by passion but desperation for her family is what is important makes a intriguing story.
