Reading this story is a wonderful and uplifting experience. – Goodreads reviewerHenri and Aileen are wonderful characters with an obvious chemistry and I loved his devotion to her. The book has a lot of emotion, cameos from Darach and Laurien (His Stolen Bride), steamy love scenes, a wonderful twist and finally a HEA complete with an epilogue! This book is part of a series, but it can easily be read as a standalone title. I really enjoyed this book and would happily recommend it to anyone! – Goodreads reviewer
