Fantastic, LD is one of my favorite authors! I read this book in one sitting, I am so thrilled that this 10th book in a series is this good. It was fresh and the writing was excellent. There was emotion, connection, drama, excitement, hotness and everything I want to read in a book from this author. Like a lot of other people my favorite in this series was Valiant, and Moon comes in a close second to that excellent Hero, however this book is the best written out of all. The scenes, flash-backs, other characters, everything was tied together beautifully and along a roller-coaster ride of emotions, I came to the end of this book, wanting more! Moon was wonderful, as LD writes them, Joy was a joy to read about and I did not miss, for a moment, the extreme torture and violence that was in some of the other books. It did not take away anything that Joy was a happy person who came from happy people and I wish more characters would be written like this. Moon suffered badly in the book but it was kept to a less than gruesome level and the book was more about their relationship than action-suspense which would have been distracting. If you like the NS series and if you like to read erotica with emotions that will touch your heart, this is that book!
