Really enjoyed this finale to the Four Soldiers series. Reynaud is a man with terrible emotional scars who has suffered for his country, fought for his life, and was subjected to cruelty and humiliation during a long captivity. He is not, unsurprisingly, well behaved.

He connects with Beatrice, his "cousin"(not related by blood), who is able to find the humanity in him, the buried gentleman, and who helps him find love. She was supposed to be really devoted to her uncle (who had raised her like a father) but I wasn't convinced. We saw little of the devotion or loyalty.

Hoyt writes a compelling story for the pair and their chemistry was pretty steamy.

I'm not sure that after the four book series that the resolution to the overarching mystery (who is the traitor) was as satisfying as I would have wished, but it worked.
