This book was so much better than I thought it was going to be. I do not know what I was expecting going in, but this book was blew any and all expectations out of the water. For me, it has everything that makes an books great: historical BDSM erotica. It is so hard to find good historical erotica (I would know since it is my favorite sub-genre) especially with non-disappointing BDSM. If you are a fan of good historical BDSM with a good storyline and interesting characters, this is definitely a novel you do not want to pass up!

Some interesting historical links
The Comedian's part of the pre-Watchmen series continues the link to actual historical events and people. Edward Blake, the Comedian, is a good friend of the Kennedy brothers and regularly helps them out in various ways. Blake is then sent to Vietnam, initially as a boost to morale for the US troops, but he soon embarks on a trademark campaign of terror across the jungle.
The overall story wasn't to my tastes, but some excellent artwork and nice historical links. Plus something of an origin story for his trademark smiley face logo.

This novel was a delightful surprise. I really wasnt in the mood for historical romance, but after reading this, I am stuck in historical romance mode trying to recapture the feeling I received from this novel.
The plot isnt anything new to historical romance: heroine is married to hero against her will in order to protect her from someone/something and she eventually falls for him. Definitely not anything new by a long shot, but the characters and writing are what made this story for me.
I love the hero and heroine. They felt unique compared to characters in other historical romance heroes/heroines. They were tangible with realistic thoughts and actions. The male wasnt misogynistic and, while the female was hot headed, she wasnt annoyingly stubborn. They worked well together and I adored them.
