Moving onto this one... Elias and Gerard are connected in a way neither realises until they actually meet. During the war, Gerard fought a lightning archmage, who was a secret weapon the Draconians didn't know about. He nearly died and was left with massive scarring to his face and body, and blindness in one eye. He thought he'd killed the archmage. Elias fought a dragon and nearly died, leaving him with massive scarring on his leg. But he thought he'd killed the dragon. Seeing the connection here? Elias realises their connection early on, but has taken a vow not to disclose the identity of any archmage, including his own.
And then you also have the wider view - of stepmothers and fathers, of betrayals and plots within plots, and friendships and foes that you just don't know if you can trust! I thought this was brilliantly written, with a smooth pace and plenty of action in and out of the sheets. I loved how Elias and Gerard grew together, their relationship being a sort of slow burn on the emotional side while moving fairly fast on the physical side.
All in all, this was a great addition to the series, and I can't wait to continue with the series. Absolutely recommended by me.

The thing I loved about this book is that Jody feels sorry for herself at times, but she doesn't wallow in it. Feeling sorry for yourself when things get on top of you - especially when you're dealing with the constant tiredness that comes with a newborn! - is only natural. She has her moment and then tries to think of what she can do to change matters. She's afraid to go it alone but is also prepared to face that fear to make a better life for herself and her daughter.
Leo has his own struggles to deal with and does sort of have an ulterior motive when offering Jody a place to live and a job, but he doesn't act on anything. He gives Jody the space and confidence she needs to stand tall. Of course, the fact that he's completely in love with Angelia is completely irrelevant ;)
This is a wonderful story which can be read as a standalone but I personally would recommend reading the whole series, simply because you're missing out on two other fantastic books if you don't read them.
Highly recommended for all fans of Contemporary Romance.
