Helpful Score: 3
Good story line, but very predictable. I didn't feel much emotion with the main characters-almost like there just wasn't any chemistry there, like her other books.
Helpful Score: 1
This story at least had a reasonable villian and expectation of danger. She did give away the identity of her victim a trifle too soon, but the sex was hot and reasonably graphic, even if the circumstances were somewhat less than believable. I enjoyed the novel and will read others by this author.

While I love every book I have ever read by Stephanie Laurens, I found this one to be lackluster and rather dull. I didn't care for it and on my personal rating system of 1-4 stars, I gave this 2.5 stars.

I enjoyed this book. It had just the right amount of eveything. Suspense, suprise, romance and a nice dose of history. I would read more of the Barnaby Adair series.
Stephanie Laurens is great. I've loved the Cynster series and have just started the Bastion series. Can't wait to get to the next one.
