I like this author and have been spacing her books out over a period of time since I do find her stuff a little similar when read to close to each other. I'm not sure why I never read this one before but I'm glad I found it now. It was an interesting read and I liked that the h was a little different. The H is larger than life and I'd read about him in some of the other books and knew he was extremely powerful, in this book we discover why. The h is much lower born by comparison and is little more than the daughter of a rich merchant with a Baron as a grandfather. She has carried the load for her family for a long time. She has a demented, abusive mother that she cares for, she runs her father's business and their home and she looks after her much younger, frail sister. She is a bit bitter with her life and when she first encounters the H, she makes a very bad impression on him despite being beautiful. They continue to have various interactions and he becomes more and more intrigued by her. Their relationship develops and eventually she is forced to leave her home with him after it is burnt to the ground.This was a very interesting and gripping story and I loved the relationship between the H and h. I loved how honourable the H was towards the h. He does the right thing by her and I loved him for that.Looking forward to reading more books in this series.
