3 of 5 stars
Usually I enjoy Ms. Romain's books, but the third book, Lady
Rogue, wasn't my favorite and neither is this book. It's been a year since I
read the previous book and I don't remember the characters mentioned in the
book so it was hard to figure out who was who. I did like Cass and George and
the slow burn of their romance, but the mystery that they were trying to solve just
dragged on and on. I would have liked to see more background for both Cass and
George as well. Then, all of a sudden, after talking with her twin brother
Charles, all the pieces click into place and she knows who the murderer is. It
was all so rushed after dragging for so long.
The secondary romance between Charles and his informant was
too quick. She's helping him with his cases while he recovers from a broken leg
and within a few weeks, he's proposing to her. There were not enough scenes of
these two together to really solidify the romance for me.
I'll certainly read the next book by Ms. Romain and I hope
she spends more time on character development of the H and h before introducing
any secondary plots.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and
honest review and was not obligated to leave a review.
