I can't bring myself to finish this. Already 100 pages in, and the only---only!---words I can use to describe the hero and heroine are "supposedly protective" and "supposedly intelligent," respectively. Surely at this point, I should have a strong grasp of who these people are and what matters to them.

...And judging by the cryptic, melodramatic conversations they keep having, I can only assume that they, and the author, believe I already understand them quite well. (But I don't; I have no bloody clue what they're on about.

I was pleasantly surprised with how sweet the hero was in this, pretty gone for the heroine once meeting and getting to know her.

Had some magical elements trying to tie in Arthurian legends but was ignored for most of the middle of the book. Some other mystery murder, hidden villain threads that were too loose to make a lot of sense and care about. The last 15%ish was about wrapping those up and I felt it killed the HEA good feelings a bit.

Wish this had focused on the couple more because they were so very sweet and good together. There was a scene towards the end where the hero arrived home after weeks of being away that nailed the emotion and heat perfectly.

Definitively worth a read if you can find it… (lisätietoja)
