Rock Hall has never held secrets for Jaghar. His masked service has always traced every word, every look, every footstep. But the king\u2019s violent death is a menacing mystery even to him \u2013 a mystery that puts the future of an entire kingdom on the line. If he cannot solve it soon enough, not Velvet but her uncle will be crowned the next ruler of the Peaks.<\/p>\n

With the wrong man about to take the throne and Trystan\u2019s murderer still on the loose, the princess and the spy find themselves tangled in a web of political deceit and deadly revenge.

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

Wow, what a finish for the series! Exciting, intriguing, dramatic, sexy and gloriously romantic, I couldn\u2019t put this book down and read it in one sitting, desperate to know how Viviette and Jaghar\u2019s story would end, and completely captivated from start to finish.<\/p>\n

This book begins where the last book, [book:Leather|58094868], ended. Viviette and Jaghar are returning home to the Peaks – in love, committed and excited to begin planning their future together. They know they will have challenges to face, but they\u2019re prepared to fight for each other, and I was right there with them!<\/p>\n

But right when they appear to be on the cusp on getting everything they\u2019ve hoped for, tragedy strikes the castle. Viviette finds herself completely lost, while Jaghar has another mystery to solve, and with both of them emotionally reeling, they\u2019ll have to battle not only for their happiness, but for the future of their kingdom.<\/p>\n

I love her more than anything I\u2019ve ever loved in the world.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This book is a really exciting ride. Even though the blurb gives it away, the events are still shocking, and the emotion of it all is beautifully written. I felt everything along with the characters, and I was madly flipping through the pages as the story unfolded, needing to know if my theories were right (spoiler alert \u2013 part yes, but a big surprising no). There are secrets and plots, political strategizing, vengeance and lies, and it\u2019s all tangled up so well, I loved watching it play out. Though I had an idea where things were going, there were still some surprises, and when the time came for the big reveal, I was internally cheering.<\/p>\n

And through it all, Viviette and Jaghar\u2019s romance is beautiful. They have come so far, they are so in love, so passionate for each other, and so honest and sure of their future together, and I loved that! There\u2019s lots of sexy time, which is super hot and full of intensity, and the romance is absolutely gorgeous. There\u2019s this fantastic sense of playfulness to these two, and in the midst of all of the drama and emotion, those rare, secret little grins mean so much. They will be tested, but it shows their strength, and together, these two are capable of pretty much anything.<\/p>\n

Jaghar grinned. \u201cI created a monster, didn\u2019t I?\u201d
\n\u201cDon\u2019t blame yourself. The monster largely created herself and is quite satisfied with the state of affairs.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have loved this series. Lisette Marshall writes so well, and Viviette and Jaghar\u2019s story has been a fantastic journey, with lots of twists and turns. I love these two characters so much, and I loved seeing them get the HEA I wanted so badly for them. I finished this book with a huge smile on my face.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking forward to exploring more of this world and its characters, and am so excited that there are more books on the way.<\/p>\n

4.5 stars.<\/p>\n
