I have mixed feelings about this installment, I expected more fighting scenes especially from Payne, I am really confused on the Layla-Quinn and Bayle relationships. I feel so sad when reading about Layla because it seems that she is pushed to the side and cannot fully "service" any of the Brothers. I have no idea where J.R. is going to take the plot next but I hope it involves a resolve and happy ending for Layla if it had not been for the premonition Quinn had I would have ideas about xcor and Layla but that probably will not happen. I still enjoyed the noble, although I feel that I was let down..I had very high expectations for this book. There should have been more on the Payne and Manuel storyline and not as much on Vishous and Jane-maybe they should have been the sole focus?? Anyways-I will go back to the long wait for the next installment of this series.
