This was engaging, exciting, the characters were horrible, but there were a few elements I didn't like. The romance felt too quick, it was a all of a sudden 'BAM, naked in bed', very little build up. Where was the tension and resistance after 2 years apart, it felt all too easy!

Also, everyone was so crude and crass for supposedly wealthy elites, they were a little too unrefined. Admittedly, I like this element in Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series, but here it felt out of place. It was no Downton Abbey for me, and I think that's why I was a little disappointed.

However, I did love all the plot twists and turns in the characters attitudes. They didn't have to be likeable to engage with the novel. This made it easy to read through. So I will definitely be picking up the next book as I can't wait to see what happens, but this one was still a little rough around the edges for my liking!
