When a mysterious stranger finds his way into her bedchamber and offers his help in landing a husband, Lady Felicity Faircloth agrees to his suspicious terms -- on one condition. She's seen enough of the world to believe in passion, and won't accept a marriage without it.
I adored this book. It was the perfect mix of romance and action and adventure and brains. Felicity was fantastic. I loved that she was a lockpick and that she continued to use it to Devil's frustration. I loved Devil. He was harsh but sweet. He could be very dramatic though and somewhat repetitive. If I have any complaints is that this book is very long and some of it drags. It makes you just want to slap Devil upside the head to get him to stop being so ridiculous. When he's not though, Felicity and Devil burn hot. The banter between them was snarky and witty and hilarious. There's lots of references to folklore and fairy tales and even some myths and legends - which I loved. There's very little I like more than a good fairy tale romance and this delivered - even if that's not what it's billed as. I was intrigued by the backstory of Devil and Beast and Grace and I was fascinated by the idea of them smuggling booze hidden in ice. I would've liked to see more interaction between Felicity and Grace and Beast. Still, thoroughly enjoyable. 4.5 stars, rounded up to 5.
