A review by tinkcourtney
Jack of Thorns by A.K. Faulkner

5.0

This was my second time reading this, since I needed a refresher before moving on with the series. I think I enjoyed it just as much, if not more. I love the slow build, largely due to Quentin's cluelessness which leads to gems like this:

"He tore his gaze away. It wasn't proper to ogle other people in such a manner, and he had no idea what could have caused his lapse in manners."

And his gradually growing possessiveness, LONG before he realizes he might even have feelings:

"Woe betide anyone who lay a finger on Laurence this weekend. He was Quentin's, and that was that."

On to book two (now that I remember what happened here)!
