Rating: 2.5/5
[The 115: 18/115]

Also pretty good. Although, I think she could have spent less time on the stuff at the beginning, and more time on the stuff at the end. The last few chapters cover about six months of events I wouldn’t have minded reading more about.
I’m not sure why she did such a typical story, when she could have written about something a lot more interesting.

I do find it interesting as well, that this is the third book in this series in which the two romantic leads have a “mistaken identity” meeting. In The Duke, Robert thinks Bel is a willing courtesan, in Lord of Fire Lucien thinks Alice is a spy, and now in this Damien thinks Miranda is a wanton actress… I wonder if this is intentional or just lazy?

Damien Knight is proud, aloof, and tormented by memories of war.

Though living in seclusion, he is named guardian to a fellow officer's ward. Instead of the young homeless waif he was expecting, however, Miranda FitzHubert is a stunning, passionate beauty who invades his sanctuary and forces him back into society.

Struggling to maintain honor and self-control, Damien now faces an ever greater threat: desire.

A bold, free spirit, Miranda has witnessed the darkest depths of Damien's soul--and has seen his desperate need for love. But before she can thaw his unyielding heart, she must endure a terrifying nightmare of her own. . . .
