Finally we are on our last Horseman, Reseph. Now (as it is completely obvious and not a spoiler) Reseph has been the main villain for the last three books. Seriously... he was like evil and a half. In Rogue Rider we find him after the events at the end of Lethal Rider... which means naked in a snowbank with amnesia. Our heroine, Jillian, finds and takes him home with her to nurse him back to health because what else are you going to do with an unconscious sexy naked dude in a snowbank? It sounds silly but it works. 
 I'm a bit of a sucker for a good redemption story. For example, I totally rooted for Sylar to stay a good guy in Heroes! (Do you guys remember the TV show Heroes?... Never mind. ) I just want to root for someone who's trying/ becoming a good guy. I'm a nurturer, dammit! Or I just love anti-heroes... But I digress. 
 I really enjoyed Reseph's story. He has a lot of making up to do. I mean... technically it wasn't him (it was his demon half, Pestilence) that was wreaking unholy mayhem across the globe for the past year. However, he and Pestilence inhabit the same body so... most people aren't going to be cutting him some slack any time soon. I feel that as a character, he has grown the most and exhibited the most change. That isn't really an exaggeration... remember the whole evil and half thing before? He just finds out that what he thought was working for him wasn't and that he needed a fresh start. Jillian was a strong female who wasn't in constant need of saving. She had an inner grit and determination which was necessary in dealing with the shit-storm that showed up naked in the snow. 
 As for the romance/smut: I really liked it. It wasn't really cheesy and I don't think I had to roll my eyes at something being too saccharine. It was the right amount of touchy feely and the right amount of touchy feely. The smut was pretty excellent. I like it better when the girl isn't a blushing virgin who's sooooo innocent. I like a girl with some confidence who already knows what's up. 
 As for side plot/set up for the next book, I was soooo intrigued by Harvester. I have been for some time. It always felt like she was running some major game. Shade mentioned something about a Shadow Angel, and Larissa Ione took the extra sentence to define what that is. So I assume that will come into play in the Reaver's story. (Because, Hello! Smoking gun , anyone!?) There is a lot of sexual tension between Reaver and Harvester and, frankly, they just need to bang it out already! I'm excited to see how that will play out. 
 P.S. (view spoiler)[I TOTALLY CALLED IT THAT REAVER WAS THE FATHER OF THE HORSEMEN LIKE TWO BOOKS AGO!!!!!! NAILED IT! (hide spoiler)]
