I’ve said it before and I will say it again, I LOVE the Spade Brothers!

This book followed a different formula than the rest, featuring a FMC that wants to be in with the big boys; she has no desire to be a chosen or a simple Lady, but would rather take on Lord tasks and power. Her assignment is to go undercover as a therapist to one of the brothers, where he quickly discovers her real identity and claims her as punishment, and she goes rather willingly I might add. Through some twists and turns we get the whole gang back together from the rest of the series, with a big final reveal further connecting them all. If this is where the series takes its final bow, I am more than satisfied with the ending!

Haidyn is definitely my favorite Spade Brother, his sympathetic side was kind of refreshing for this series. I loved that he wasn't as power hungry as the past Lords have been, almost as if he resents being born into this world but making the best of it.
