I came across an ALC of this on netgalley and got instantly invested and then I signed up thinking I probably wouldn't be accepted. Then I got offered a review copy and had a massive dilemma. Do I try to read book 1 first, in the very limited time I had or do I just listen to this one and circle back later. But I know me, so I picked up book 1 and loved it and I am so glad I did.
I honestly think you could easily and happily read this as a standalone, but I loved getting that little bit of history between Silas and Vesper through the eyes of their friends. Plus, book 1 was a pretty good read on its own.
So, the history between Silas and Vesper was still pretty current in this book and I loved it. Vesper was such a realistic, easy to relate to character and I loved how determined she was to fix her own mistakes and not jump into new ones. But even more I loved how fiercely Silas loved her and how he fought to win her over while also being so considerate of her needs and pace.
He never pushed her even when you could almost physically feel how badly he wanted to throw her over his shoulder and lock her in a castle. He just laid himself bare and let his actions show his sincerity. And I couldn't get enough of them.
The audio was really easy to get lost in. The narrators were awesome and I am so glad I requested it. I can't wait to see our other Rogues family members get their stories. All through the book I kept hoping for a different character to get their book next and honestly, I'm going to forget and be happy regardless.
