*ARC received from the author, in exchange for an honest review* 
 Let's start off by saying I had to force myself to put this book down to sleep. As much as I hated to see this series end..... The end was spectacular. Serenity continued to be the kick-ass, shoot anything that moves woman that she is, but she allowed herself to be more open in this book and it was touching to see both her heartbreak and her heart soften some. Montes was a much changed man after ruling for 100 years without Serenity by his side, but he changed for the better and it made me love him even more. The romance was so touching and you can see how deep their love and loyalty for one another goes. There was lots of plotting, surprises and, of course, action and bloodshed. The epilogue was so great and wrapped everything up in a satisfactory way. I thoroughly loved this book and this series.
