“Laurens consistently delivers well-crafted, carefully paced novels; here, she adds gothic suspense, an unpredictable climax, a sweet love story, likable characters, and a colorful backdrop. Readers will find this new generation of Cynsters as delightful as the first.” RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
“Bestselling Laurens’ long-running Cynster Next Generation series proves that she’s an expert at matching a fast-paced, danger-spiced plot with a sensually charged love story, and her latest romance delivers everything her readers expect.” Booklist
“A straight-laced Glasgow businessman is drawn back into clan politics and a romance with a woman from a neighboring estate…Both Thomas and Lucilla are flawed and likable characters. A fun and fast-moving read…Highly recommended.” Kirkus Reviews
