There is something about the Wild Wulfs of London premise that's really compelling but, for this reader at least, the series lacked heart and soul. I read all the Wulf stories (3 books & 2 novellas) and they all read the same. None lived up to the hype and I think the problem is with the writing -- it was flat and unemotional.
I liked Gabriel in The Dark One and looked forward to reading about his adventures in love, but he was MIA here, at least his personality was! I really liked Amelia but she was too naive and trusting considering her character liked to thumb her nose at society.
The language and setting seemed strangely ahistorical. It didn't feel like it was set in Regency England, in fact it could have been set any where in the world. Their dialogue and thoughts were modern for a historical and took away from the story. Overall, this was just an okay read.
