Despite all the negative reviews, I didn't think this was a bad book in the series. The author doesn't do over long sagas and in this case the attraction/love between the H and h happens fairly quickly. In fact the time line in the book is very short since she meets him only about a month after his father is killed and he is betrayed by his former betrothed. The H swears never to trust a woman again but one month later he meets the h:) Anyway it's escapism and romance. Again one of the reviewers was upset by the picture because they thought the h would be some kind of warrior woman but actually the picture is relevant to the story.I was interested to see how the author went into the whole thrall (slave) situation in those times, it upset the h but I thought it was interesting. Once I read how these thralls served their masters it did leave me wondering if they might serve the H the same way again later on in his life, if his marriage went through ups and downs. That's the problem with a shortish story where love happens quickly, the reader can be left in some doubt about a long term hea.Overall it was one of the better books in the series.
