What I appreciate about the writing of this author is how the plot and character development are so well done. Yes, there's spice. But the spice we get is there to serve the story. I wasn't too sure about my feelings about Matteo after reading Savage Temptation, but he's such a lovely, morally grey cinnamon roll. Francesca's inner dialogue made me laugh out loud several times. The way these characters are written, I can only love them. 

And the ending, oh my! I anxiously awaiting the next instalment.
