This is the first book I've read by author Bertrice Small. Though I enjoyed her writing style, I found the book somewhat lacking. The storyline was interesting enough but the book moved slowly and seemingly without direction. There were a few hot and steamy scenes but they were too few and far between.

I don't want to spoil the book, but an important male character "tricks" Lara into a situation that should have upset her, but instead she takes it all in stride, something that seemed wrong for her personality. The author sets us up to see Lara as strong and independent, and suddenly she's behaving in ways contrary to that? It didn't make sense.

Overall it just wasn't my favorite book, but still one worth reading and for those who enjoy epic novels rather than romance, I'm sure it's a good one.
