Great story!  Non stop action from the first word to the last.  As always KA rocked!I have to admit, I was a little hesitant starting this book.  I could not imagine liking a story where a man wants a woman just because she looks like his dead wife.  I hate books that dwell on dead wife or husband.  To me, I think it takes away from the current love story.  But, this book did not do that.  In fact, the hero did not spend a lot of time thinking about his late wife.  Of course she was mentioned, but her memory really just set the backdrop for the story.  It was not a driving force.Loved the heroine.  I really enjoyed watching her self esteem build.  I adored the way she attracted everyone around her.  She made a group of strangers become family.Liked the hero.  He was the normal KA alpha male, but he had a harder edge than most of her guys.  At times, I felt his words like a punch to the gut.  He said some things that were truly unforgivable.  I wanted to scream at the heroine to run away, find someone else, or just go back home.  If it was me, I don't think I could have got past the stuff he said.  I think she forgave him way to easily.  I believe if she had made him grovel then this great book would have been outstanding.  As time went on, he mellowed out a bit.  In the end, I ended up falling in love with him.The heat level was scorching, but it was not over the top.  However, there was a few things that some people may find taboo.  (Anal play).  Not an issue for me, but I figured I would give a heads up to the readers that may be offended.This book sort of wraps all the other books up.  All of the evil that was in those books come together.  So If you haven't read the first three books, I do recommend you read them first.  The characters in those book play a major role in this book.  They are probably in at least 40% of the book, so you be lost if you do not know their stories.Just a heads up for all you historical romance fans, this book reads a lot like a historical romance.  All of the men are from a world a lot like ours hundreds of years ago.  (Granted this world is full of magic).  So If you are a contemporary, historical, or paranormal romance fan, grab this book now.
