Richard and Gabriela are back in this second book to the Coin/Hours duology. Gabriela is yet again in danger. She hasn't spoken to Richard in years. Her husband is indisposed and she is caring for her two teenage sons and a three year old son. Even though she has hired a bodyguard to watch the household, danger is still present and wants her work that she plans to auction off.
When a priest, not Gabriela, contacts Richard and asks for help, he comes running. When he gets to her, old feelings that never died are reinforced even more.
Opinion
This duology is a fantastic read. I highly suggest that you read The Coin first. You will want to follow it quickly with book. Together, they are suspenseful, both with danger and with romance. I could not help but anticipate what was coming next as my mind would wander to the book when I wasn't reading it. However, there are so many parts of this book that come unexpectedly that I was not successful at all. All of these curve balls kept me intrigued.
Many thanks to Bare Naked Words for providing me with an ARC of this book.
