I don't remember if I've ever read a book in this series and starting with n 36 could have a bit messy. I was lucky because it can be read as a stand alone and I think Ms Feehan can surely write a gripping book.
There's a lot of strong emotions, greed, and a well developed romance.
interesting world building and characters.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine
