Winter and Isabel's interactions have been teasing us since the last book and I have enjoyed reading about them both in this one. Each of their characters were very well developed and were three dimensional; Winter in how he continued his inner conflict with himself and Isabel who as we read more about her became more than what she seemed, (view spoiler)[ especially the fact about her not having children, her feeling towards that was very realistic in terms of her sorrow and her jealousy of other women which caused her frustration (hide spoiler)] 
 One thing that this book did that other Historical Romance novels dont do, at least not as far as I've read is: 
 (view spoiler)[ 
 The fact that it was the guy (Winter) who was the virgin and the woman (Isabel) who had the experience and therefore it felt like the typical romanic roles *cough* in bed *cough* have been reversed and it was the lady who taught the man 
 Though I did roll my eyes that after one session of teaching, Winter apparantly became an expert in the bed arts XD

 Rating: 3.5/5 
 Looking forward to Mags book =D
