I was really looking forward to reading about Tegan, who sounded like a really intriguing, wounded, cold warrior in the other books but comes off as being mildly irritated here.
The heroine has been a mourning widow for the past five years because she greatly missed her husband, the love of her life, and here, she talks about him -- and her former life -- as a duty. Sometimes she's an ice queen who is part of society's upper crust, and other times, she mocks and scorns that very society, but we don't know why. We don't even get the sense that she knows why.
It feels like the author is trying too hard to make awkward puzzle pieces fit together. "Kiss of Crimson," the second book, was much better.
