Having read two of the previous three books, I was seriously looking forward to Dom and Jane's story, especially with the glimpses we've seen in this series. I wanted the real story, since Dom was always grim and silent about Jane, and well, we never got Jane's POV until now.
And I wasn't disappointed-ish. I do enjoy a couple who have been together before but who are finding their way back to each other. With Dom and Jane, they've got nearly twelve years of being apart to contend with... including the dissolution of their engagement.
Baggage. City. And that's where the tension and drama (the good kind) are.
Though I do have to say that I preferred Dom over Jane. Jane was too black and white in her views of Dom. And while yeah, we learn reasons why Jane might view Dom that way, those reasons never sank deep enough to make me believe Jane's reservations. Sometimes Jane just made me want to shake her.
But one thing I've enjoyed about this series is the relationship between Lisette, Tristan, and Dom. It's a bit odd -- Dom, the second son, bonding with Lisette and Tristan, Dom's father's bastard children -- but it works so well.
I also have to say that the mystery -- Nancy's disappearance -- was a good one. Since Dom is the reason the Duke's Men came to be, I'm glad we got to see him in action. And that he got his HEA that he deserves.
