Being an editor, this book annoyed me. First because the author has a reasonably good story, but ruins it with hundreds of typos and spelling errors. I would urge Ms. Le Veque to please, at least use proofreaders if not an editor. People pay to read a book then take the time to read it, perhaps the author should afford her readers the courtesy of editing it properly.The hero was believable until he folded, rather rapidly, and got weak at the knees--seriously? Women get weak at the knees, men get erections. But, that aside, maybe some men do get weak at the knees, if they have a corporate job. This man is supposed to be a stone eyed killer. Sorry, he became her soppy puppy dog way too fast, and his name from Ajax to Jax, really? Then she calls him Pet? I almost fell over laughing. The author emasculated her hero in double quick time. The kissing scenes were surely copied and pasted they were so similar.I found the voice a little childish and too feminine for the brutality, which was actually well portrayed, by the way. I don't enjoy babies' heads being bashed in, but that is often the way in war--with barbarians. However, in the time of knights, chivalry was a big thing and such practices were not as likely.So all in all it didn't do it for me.
