Sovran's Pawn was so much fun, from start to finish! Cassels built a wonderful world full of engaging, memorable characters. Bo is tough, but feminine, a beautiful mix that makes her dynamic. Blade is sexy, mysterious, and fraught with surprising tenderness. I completely admit to swooning. And he has a brother! Chase was endearing and insightful. But perhaps my favorite male character was Royce. The sexiness of the older, powerful man made him just as much a hero in my eyes as Blade. And though we hear about Jaden off the page more than we see him, I was totally captivated by him, and would love to see more of him in the future. Bo is one lucky lady to have all these incredible men who care about her.I'm not going to give anything away, but the concept of Joy Babes as modern day Geisha was nicely executed. Bo's attention to gestures and mannerisms rivaled Blade's scrutiny of body language, making for a wondrous dance of deception and trust throughout.We catch an exciting glimpse of this huge world that Cassels created, and it promises many more adventures for not just Bo, but all of us following her story.
