Rating: 3/5
This is my third book by this author and I wanted to shout FINALLY when I saw that romance was present in the story. There were moments, and gestures, and stolen glances, and longing. There was actual chemistry between the leads and I read the book in one sitting. It was charming!
But old habits die hard and, just like with the other two books, in the last quarter of the book new elements were added in to amplify the drama. And... I yelled at my kindle again because it ended on such dry and abrupt note! It felt like the last couple of chapters were a mad dash and then it all came to a skidding halt.
Overall, great improvements over the other books I've read by this author.

This was quite an adventurous book, not quite heart-palpitating but close. It didn't feel rushed at all (except for the ending). Unique story line as well, or at least from what I've read.
