"This wasn't an example of Linda Howard's usually exceptional writing. I thought the characters were under-developed and it was a chore to read. It's an under developed "love" story of Jessica and Nikolai who are trying to overcome their fear of trusting each other wholeheartedly while learning the true meaning of love. "
