This one you do definitely have to read the first book, instead of being a series where there is a different couple in each book. And wow did this start out with something that I figured would be impossible for Quinn to write about with her usually steamy stories. Although she definitely started this story with a bang, if you catch my drift. But their predicament of waiting until the wedding definitely fed into all the things that started to come between them as the wedding plans progressed.
There was so much drama, and so many things going on. When it all kind of hit the fan about halfway through, I started thinking back to what I’d read and wondering who could be the mole, the person who had sent the letters that made security so important. The majority of the people I started guessing because after the first book I figured it would have to be someone I wouldn’t guess. However the bad guys, well some of them the moles in the castle anyway, were people that I think the author gave us definitely clues to in their introduction as well as just the way they behaved and contributed to the distance between Keller and Lilly.
Now, Quinn found ways to still get some pretty steamy scenes into the book both while they were abstaining, as well as after things really started to pick up with the drama and danger at the end. And she kept me at the edge of my seat wondering how we would get to our HEA for this story with all the things that kept going wrong at the end.
However, even though I know that it adds to the drama and is used by every author pretty much, the miscommunication at the end was so frustrating for me that I ended up going to a 4.5 stars instead of the full 5. While I got it somewhat during the whole wedding planning, in the end it made me so mad that the culprit being stubborn, I won’t say which one of them, was doing that as if they didn’t know the other person that they claimed to love.
I don’t know if the author has any more planned for this world, but I would love to see her cousins get their own HEAs in their own books in the future. Especially since their country celebrates with cheese, the best food in the world, instead of the cod that Lilly’s country loves so much.
