3.5 stars 
 Sands is up to her usual with the latest in the Argeneau series- plenty of steam, a touch of suspense, a slapstick scene or two, and an all around satisfying read. 
 Basha's complex family history adds a bit more darkness than I expected from this usually lighthearted series, but when Sands reveals the whole of Basha's background readers will be entirely on her side and ready to root for her happy ending with Marcus. 
 Aside- loved the shout out to the Princess Bride! Yay! :)
