2.5 or 3 stars. 
 Like most of the books in this series I enjoy how smart the heroines are and their ability to give a good set down. The hero's are a mixed bag ( I LOVE the the guys in books one and six). While what happened to Gervase was unfortunate, it also felt a little contrived. Many probably would have a hard time with his mixed treatment of Morgan, but I had more trouble with the fact that even aside from that he just wan't that interesting.
