The full review can be found at The Book Hookup!! 
 Another great book by Ms. Frederick! She seems to have the knack of being able to write characters that are imperfect and had they been drawn together in a different way may not have worked, yet somehow finding the best connection for them so that the reader has no doubt they always belonged together. Victoria and Ian both have a desperate need...her, to help her mother...him, to avenge his family. These are huge situations that are all consuming for them and that constitute more than just the average baggage characters normally bring with them into a story. And I liked that these situations were written that way...that, even as we enjoyed the romance part of the book, we were never allowed to forget these themes. This story wasn't just about the relationship, there was more to be dealt with. 
 Now, don't get me wrong. The relationship was explosive...hot...sexy! And for those of you who like a passionate, confidant, strong, swoony man...Ian is the guy for you!! He knows what he wants and goes after it with everything he has. Even if at times it feels like he's a bit too controlling, you always know it's because he can't deny his heart and his desire to have Victoria in his life. I must admit that she was a bit of contradiction to me. She could simultaneously feel strong and weak, but I guess love and lust can do that to a girl, so I liked her anyway. I must let you know that this story is not over and I believe we will see these two again because all is not done. There is still a storyline to explore and these characters are ready to take it on. And I, for one, am glad because I think there's so much more to learn about these two and so much more to enjoy. And I miss Ian already....
