This is the book that follows Viscount Breckenridge to the Rescue and at the end of that book, Heather's sister Eliza is snatched from her engagement ball. This book follows what happens after that. While Heather and Breckenridge's story spent most of the book trying to figure who was behind the kidnapping and what the kidnapper wanted with the Cynster girls, Eliza's book spent more time dealing with her actual escape from her captors. Other than that, the books were a great deal alike in storyline.

Eliza catches the eye of Jeremy Carling and it was Jeremy who came through and rescued her and it was at times entertaining to watch these two grow closer and closer. I enjoyed the romance that popped up between these two but if I'm being honest, I'm not sure how many more books by Stephanie Laurens I can read because she's starting to remind me of Diana Gabaldon with her three million words to describe every minute detail of what's going on. I don't need to read about them checking the map at every turn of the corner. I'm telling you now like I told you when I read Outlander. This book could have been just as good without so many hot damn words. They could have chopped this book in half and I think we still would have gotten a fabulous story about two people falling in love. It was just a struggle to read through every single word in this book because there were so freaking many.

My favorite thing about this book was the hero. Jeremy Carling is one of those bookish nerdy heroes that I just absolutely adored. I thought the way that he came to Eliza's rescue despite not being a soldier or warrior was so cute and the protective way he became over her had me sighing all over the place. His character really came to life over the course of this book and I wish more words were spent describing him than on the places they were at and stuff like that.

I liked Eliza better than I liked Heather but there were times when I wanted to give her a swift kick in the arse. Must be that Cynster blood running through her. I thought that the way that Eliza and Jeremy came together, the way that they fell in love was totally believable and it felt real. I enjoyed being a part of their journey even if I wish the journey was cut a little short.

Overall, this is a good addition to the series and I'm not mad that I read it. It's going to be interesting to see where this all ends because McKinsey is running out of Cynster girls to kidnap to keep his crazy psycho Mom at bay. I'm enjoying catching the little glimpses of him and even though I'm a little wary from all the words I'll have to read in the next book, I think I'm going to read it just so that I can finish this out.
