3.7⭐️

Hasta ahora es lo mejor que he leído de Emily, claro eso no vale mucho ya que tiene una obra extensa y apenas he cruzado unos cuantos textos. Pero ojo, que todo lo que leía siempre me dejaba como meh y cero ganas de buscar mejores lecturas.

Entonces en vez de mirar al pasado, tomamos lo que sale y vemos cómo avanza y con este libro ha mejorado mucho en todos los aspectos posibles, quizá aún es pronto para hablar de una reina de hielo maravillosa, pero con Astoria ha hecho un buen trabajo, me ha gustado como desarrolla su estado emocional y sus conflictos personales. No los deja de lado y tampoco los romantiza. Aunque al final si los olvida y no les da un cierre preciso, pero en fin. Vamos avanzando.

Miller por otro lado es una buena protagonista. Centrada, justa, con crecimiento y acciones coherentes. Sin duda un personaje balanceado y a medida de su coprotagonista.

Por otro lado, la historia aunque si me espera el gran dramon por parte de Valerie, no quede tan decepcionada con la resolución porque lo sentí real y merecida.

Tal vez vayamos por buen camino con esta serie, habrá que esperar…

Wow, this is powerful and full of angst!

Ms Hayes is certainly a masterful writer. This story held my interest with the tension she built, the character development and the very intense relationships, work and personal that resulted. The court room scenes could have been boring but her skills with writing kept the tension high. Then there were the erotic scenes that also kept the interest on point. All in all a very enjoyable read.

Having read all the Phoenix Ridge series so far, I was really pleased when this book was published, and I wasn't disappointed. Emily Hayes has done it again; another story that I was unable to stop reading until finished, and then disappointed because it was! Emily develops her characters so cleverly and sensitively, which, together with a strong storyline, makes her books a joy. No spoilers, but this ice queen could freeze me anytime she likes! 😜

love a happy ending

This was a great book. I like the integrity of the characters. Such a refreshing change from current events. And it’s such an easy, comfortable read. There are plenty of legal proceedings but they definitely add to the story seamlessly for the legal lingo challenged people like me.

F/f is not usually something I read, but the blurb sounded interesting and I’m glad I gave the author and the story a chance. This was an exciting tale with a true villainess I loved to hate. Miller and Astoria are strong, ethical characters, something refreshing to read these days.

I really enjoyed this book, I’m a sucker for a lawyer. There was some occasional repetitiveness and typos but overall a very good read!
