Not my favorite but not my least favorite of the series so far, middle of the road for me.

Ledos is a very interesting character and was fun to get to know. I especially adore the interactions he has with the other Destran Lords. He doesn’t have their series nature and that’s a good thing, he balances them all out I think.

Rayna’s part in this was overcoming her trauma which occurred in the first book. I can’t even imagine how horrible things were for her, and getting a peek into the aftermath was heartbreaking. She’s a very strong woman though and and is able to regain that strength with time and patience.

The relationship between the two of them starts off rocky, Rayna can’t stand Ledos, but it develops so beautifully into something that benefits them both. They balance each other nicely. While some may not understand Ledos’s actions, I do like how he handled things with Rayna. He was extremely sensitive to her feelings and comfort level while still trying his hardest to gain her trust and affections. She was in the front of his mind at all times, her needs came first.

I’m really looking forward to the next books in the series.
