A surprisingly dark story about the torment of servitude and the power of love to break the chains of enslavement. I didn't think Harlequin let their authors run with such savage characterization and brutal imagery, but I'm glad they did. The villain was truly heinous, so cheering for the good guys came easy... even when I wasn't quite sure who the good guys were. (B )

Honestly, this was much better than I anticipated because I think I either got it for free or super cheap and sometimes those are unreadable. This was definitely readable and was a cute little cozy. I don't normally read cozies, but it was pretty good.

A cute, fun mystery that was light and fun to read. Well written, decent plot, and characters with a humorous bent (although I wouldn't call it hilarious, it was amusing at times). Some interesting romantic tension and there's a hint that the main character will be getting some backbone. All in all, I enjoyed the book.

A free Kindle D/L from 2014. It was a mildly amusing cozy mystery. Would not venture to read the other books in the series. 323 pages
