This is definitely Kathleen’s darkest romance I’ve read yet! The combination of Pearl’s stubbornness and Zane’s ruthlessness definitely makes for a compelling read. He definitely isn’t a character I will be forgetting anytime soon.
I loved the references to Ariadne and Titus and Astrid and Geraint, from The Taste of Deceit! It’s so fun having these characters all be in the same world together. Kathleen does a brilliant job weaving all these plot points together in a way that always surprises me.
If you like hot, dominant men, these books are MEANT for you!! Nobody does spice like Kathleen and I cannot recommend her enough.
I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.

It truly was a look behind…
