Treason, jilted lover, and scandal, what more could you ask for? This story revolves around Delphi and Adam, Adam was once Delphi’s suitor before he up and disappeared, leaving her cold and to face society by herself. Now, as she has traveled to Rome to study and get over him, he suddenly appears again and is pursuing her again. Adam was dealing with a lot of family issues and the fact that he is being suspected of being a traitor to the Crown, runs into the love of his who he left, the beautiful Delphi. He is currently in the midst of trying to find his lost brother and sort out the treason plot but he just can’t seem to keep away from Delphi. The story alternates between Delphi and Adam’s POVs, and the plot is fairly interesting, especially with the whole treason aspect. My one glitch was that Delphi, after being left cold turkey and vowing to actually move on is smitten within 2 seconds of being around Adam again. She becomes a bit of a puddle and has this unyeilding faith and love for him. I have to commend her for it but I found it to be a bit gratting as he literally left her cold turkey without a word and said he sent her ONE letter but it apparently never made it to her. Delphi... girl...see I like Delphi as a person, she’s quirky, smart, and doesn’t take anyone’s opinions, but her love for Adam even after what he did to her was a bit.. off putting. He just kissed her and suddenly all is forgiven and she’s right back where she started. Besides that, yes the plot was an interesting one with the murder and the treason, but the romance was just okay in my opinion.
