There were so many things I just loved about this book.  This is a book hanger over type read.  Once I started I could not put it down.  I think the thing that stands out the most is that Riviera is such a believable character.  So many stories that have someone escaping such a horrible past have either a very weak or a very strong character to the point where they are unbelievable.  Riviera, on the other hand, is has a strength about her even though she has the vulnerability and weakness one would expect from such a traumatic history. Shan also has this multidimensionality that  makes his character both likable and believable.  This is not an "insta love now everything is peachy keene with us" type story.  It takes place over time and even though the characters tend to run full throttle once they make a decision, the story is paced well and has some interesting twists and turns.  I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading more by this author.
