Eagle's Heart by Alyssa Cole
4.0
I liked it. At about 70% in I realised that I'd actually read it already, but I still liked it. Not really a romance though, and the heroine is possibly Too Stupid To Live? You know, one of those types who deliberately follow mafia henchmen into dark alleys to give them a stern talking to? It gives the hero a chance to be all rescue-y, and Julian is one of those very rescue-y types, but I still wished that Shalomeh actually acted like an educated woman of the world for once. She was so frustrating!
But I really liked Julian's staged Meet-Cute. It was very wrong of him, but I love heroes who do dickish things in the name of love. The conflict and the tension of that first half before he bursts his own bubble of deception was very well done. The string of lies and creative half-truths, and his whole "Excuse me Miss, what's your name?" routine...
