I liked it. The relationship between the H/h was very intense, with a lot to overcome, an over the chart attraction and chemistry, and a typical love/hate passion. 
 As usual, I had to admire the cleverness and psychological insight of the author, as much about her characters interactions than for the readers expectations. 
 But, as much as I love Kresley's unique style, I had some reservations about this book. 
 My main issue was perhaps that I was expecting something in accord with the original blurb, (the hero transforming and taking another identity to seduce his prisoner) a plot that disappeared and was turned into something more conventional. Adding to this the strong << Beauty and the Beast >> theme, the whole book had a sort of << deja vu >> feeling that I usually never have in an IAD book. 
 But if you enjoyed Kiss of a Demon King, Demon from the Dark, Dark Skye... 
 don't hesitate. 
 You'll be right at home reading Wicked Abyss ;).
