I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed how Sophia was good at cards and had no problem gambling to get funds for herself and refused to sell her body when the offer was presented. She is quiet yet bold and full of determination to protect those she loves. Her estrangement from her family causes her quite a bit of pain and I thought how that situation was handled was a change of pace that what I expected to happen. Dominic is charming and fun and also determined to protect his family, especially from the Huntingtons so the feelings he starts to feel for Sophia cause him to reevaluate what he knows. Dominic knows he belongs with his family and Sophia just wants a place to belong and she seems to finally find that with Dominic. The addition on the unsavory man adds a bit of drama and helps force true feelings to be revealed. I really adore the St. Claire family with their warmth, love and laughter and I loved seeing more of the theater aspect. Overall, a wonderful addition to what is shaping up to be a smoking hot, fun series! Recommended for fans of unique heroines, brooding, dashing heroes woven together with smoldering passion, a dash of intrigue, a strong family bond and a delightful, sinful romance. 4 stars
