Oh my gosh!!! This book is literally EVERYTHING I crave! I struggle to even find the words how much I loved this story so much.

Constantine is the commander of warriors who have fought a long and hard war. At the end of the tunnel, he has always kept his eyes on his promised prize. Delphine. I loved that his reaction to her was the fast and furious swelling of want, desire and need. While he battled against his own internal conflict, he never allowed his issue with her father to affect his actions with her in a hurtful way.

Delphine was young in experience but more than willing to learn anything Constantine wanted to teach her. And if he wasn’t going to do it, she’d teach herself. I loved her innocence, her natural naivete and the way that her simple curiosity brought him to his knees.

This couple lights up the pages and yet retains its feeling of sweet innocence. There is a dark edge of danger as well and all of it together pulled me into this new and amazing world. I didn’t want it to end and I’m anxiously awaiting the next in the series.
