Laura T. reviewed on
Story: 4 stars
Romance: 4 stars
Overall rating: 4 stars
It must be daunting to meet the high expectations that most Laurens fans must have had for this final installment in the Bastion series. That's perhaps not fair to her, one of my very favorite writers and among the best selling of her genre. In fact, if this were a stand-alone book or an earlier installment, readers would probably have not been disappointed.
Laurens always delivers a strong storyline with interesting, well-developed characters, steamy romance and unexpected twists and turns. This book has all of that. Since those criteria would earn any other writer strong marks, I will give them this time as well.
Although this is certainly not her BEST work ever (and my rating reflects that), it was still very entertaining and had all the emotional factors that have made Stephanie Laurens an award-winning author.
