Very political and religious throughout. More of an educational read than a romance novel. Beginning was quite boring and slow. The ending was better, but too many things were just made to happen for the sake of a happy ending. Wouldn't read again or recommend it.

3 1/2 stars I enjoyed this book the series has been very good I liked the characters although Laurel was a little too meek I liked Kirkland in the other books he turned out to be a really good character I loved the suspense and adventure the romantic was good not enough, I was glad all the other lords and their wife's were in this book. I hope there will be another book I would love to read Violets story that would be interesting.

Didn't have the passion that the other lost lords books had. Overall storyline was very sad and depressing.
