The past collide with the present, secrets are revealed that can destroy them forever! A surprising twist keeps the reader glued to the pages to the very satisfying ending. I highly recommend this book although reading the whole series would be ideal! I recieved a complimentary copy from the author. This is my honest unbiased opinion.

This post-Napoleonic Wars romance is well written and suspenseful. It deals to a large extent with the seamier side of London life in that era, with all the horror and degradation that goes with it. However, Logan rose out of the ashes and having, much against the odds, inherited a dukedom, tries to set right all the wrongs of the past. However, the one thing he cannot fix is the loss of his beloved wife. He is a shell of a man, the epitome of “the walking wounded”. That is until the day he thinks he is seeing a mirage as his wife walks past him. Sienna has total memory loss prior to waking up on an English estate ten years previously. She doesn't recognise Logan but is confused when seeing him, as his is the face she has been drawing for years, not knowing who he was. Meeting Logan starts the process of memory recall, and the more Sienna remembers, the more the questions are stirred in her mind. The drama in the story ends in an unexpected and explosive note, but the couple does eventually find their own healing and contentment. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

“He knew this would happen. Knew she would die. Leave him alone on this earth. He’d known it from the start. Known it since she was three and he was five. One did not grow old in the world they existed in. For death followed him. It always had:” Just that quote from the book tore at my heart. This is Logan’s story, one of the men that has been part of this series and managed the guards at The Revelry’s Tempest. He has been a husk of a man since his beloved wife Sierra had died ten years ago and he blamed himself. It had driven his actions in everything he did. But one amazing day he thinks he sees her and runs to talk to her. Could it be her or was he going crazy! It was her but she had lost her memory and at first did not believe he was her husband All I can say is this story pulled me in, with darkness and light that exploded at times. Logan, his brother Robbie and Sierra had grown up together under awful circumstances that they only wanted to escape. The emotions that ran hot and cold brought some sadness but the love these two had was transcendent. I have enjoyed every book I have read by this wonderful author. Her characters truly come alive and this story will make your heart smile at the end
