This was an amazing read! The characters were so well developed they became real. Like you knew them and felt their happiness and pain. More than once I found myself weeping.
Strong leads who complement each other!

Action packed romance kept me on the edge of my chair. Engaging characters keep you emotionally involved while the plot absorbs you.

Very exciting story. I liked the suspense and intrigue. The characters were flawed but so likable. In the end, you are rooting for the HEA.
Amazing feminine lead

From the get go you get how tough Aggie is but it gets even more astonishing how much she has gone through to keep herself and family safe, she could have done it on her own but it was great how fast the Duke, Devin decides he is going to help her. Great twists and turns and even their traumatic pasts reels you into their love story. I had mostly been reading contemporary romance novels but this book reminded me how much I enjoyed reading historical romances and looking forward to more from K.J. Jackson and getting snippets about how Aggie and Devin are doing in the other book in this series.
