“’I was going to say your wife.’
A role, he realized, he wanted to see her in, despite its impossibility. He was allowing himself to cross barriers because of the way she made him yearn for more. He frowned, suddenly restless. How had he not known there was a missing piece in his life? She had captured his attention and his thoughts with so little effort, it gave him pause. Here he was, wrapping himself into a web of his own making over a woman who likely saw him as nothing more than a temporary plaything.”
As for cons, I had some issues with the plot, specifically with some of Rhys’s actions – for instance, he kills a member of nobility and experiences zero repercussions. Also, he obtains a title and ingratiates himself into polite society very quickly – and it’s not that I necessarily think that couldn’t happen, as I’m sure money trumped pretty much everything else then as it does now, just that he went from zero to sixty in a matter of weeks.
Despite all that, I couldn’t put this book down, and I was very happy to have an ARC of the next book waiting in the wings!
