*sigh* I LOVED it! Definitely my favorite KEW book. Alaina and Cole were perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed the character development and progression of their relationship. A perfect blend of action, romance, angst, and spice to make this an unforgettable adventure. I was emotionally invested from beginning to end.   

"It has come to mind, Miss MacGaren, that in the past few months three people have entered and affected my life. They had no face I could define, yet each bore the mark of this war. First, there was the ragged boy driven from his home and, I thought, well in need of my attention. Then, I came across a convincingly wayward wench who seared her brand upon my mind and left me searching for a face and a form. And lastly, there was the widow who, though well veiled, had a shape so refined that it stirred my imagination and made me seek her out." He glanced aside at Alaina. "Now I find they are all one and the same. Tell me, Miss MacGaren, am I the richer or the poorer for my new-found knowledge?"

🎙️ Cassandra York and Ashford McNab delivered! The narration improves with a faster listening pace.
