The Eve Duncan series is another that I am so far behind on, but I am trying to catch up on. This is the seventh book in the series. This one was a little different than the others in that I felt like it was much more personal and dealt more with Eve‘s feelings rather than her actions. She is made a promise in exchange for her work that she just can‘t turn down. By the end of the novel I was certainly feeling for her and wanted her happy ending.

ncayea I've forgotten about this series!! Thanks for the reminder 😁 5y
