Crowe MacLeod is a convicted criminal. He had his reasons to confess to killing one of his best friends and when this “reason” proceeds to free him from prison and then kidnaps him, he’s quite confused… Why is Lady Honoria, his first and only love, doing this? Is she suddendly out of her mind? That’s the intriguing beginning of yet another magnificent book by Caroline Lee!
I was waiting for this book since the beginning of the series, where Crowe was mentioned quite a few times. And I wasn’t disappointed at all! Thanks to her uncanny ability to elicit a good laugh in every circumstance, Caroline Lee was able to perfectly mix humor and angst and create a gorgeous book that made me smile even during the more poignant parts. We all know that Lee is the queen of historical rom-com, but I’m fairly sure she could pull off a darker and angstier book if she wanted. Because there’s another thing we all know and it’s that it’s harder to make someone laugh than it is to make them cry…
So I laughed and was even moved by this book and I loved Crowe and Honoria and their undeniable chemistry, but I especially loved seeing all the characters of the previous books coming back and gathering around their friend. And now I can’t wait for Honoria’s brother and his HEA! I so love a mysterious character!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
