Review

I liked so much about this book. The world building is nicely done and it has one of my favorite troupes: a hero and heroine who both want to be married.

Though it isn't exactly, mail order bride, it is close enough.

The band of brothers the Torkel leads is a wonderful group of special forces. His story of adoption and his loving family are great.

I like the heroine. However, she does something really dumb. It works my nerve and I think that if she doesn't get how she should have come forward with it and why it was really, really bad, she becomes dumb. Agh. But this thing she does makes little sense to me and hurts character development. I get why she does one thing but then the other thing which would hurt as much more than the thing she is preventing, no. How is that for no spoilers?

Now, she really pays for her error. A lot. So, there is that.

So, I liked the book despite this maddening element. And will be buying the rest of the series because the other heroes and heroines look great!
