This was my first Kresley Cole story. I was drawn to it because it wasn't a paranormal. I wondered if she could write a good historical. Well, I laughed, I cried, I was on the edge,... I truly enjoyed this story. I loved Hugh the moment he very calmly and patiently aimed his rifle and shot the Scotsman who had taken Jane and took a knife to her throat. In that moment I was panicking for her, but Hugh was all calm steel and made no mistakes. As an archer myself, I identified with Jane. I knew her shooting skills would help her when the time came. I enjoyed their banter.The dialogue seemed real... It was like listening to my husband and I. I really enjoyed it and I will definitely go on to read about the other MacCarrick brothers, especially Ethan.

Although I like the immortals after dark books by Cole better, this was a good read.
