For some reason I could not get into this book even though there's a tortured hero. I even started it months and then finished it six months later. I usually enjoy Bonnie Dee's books so maybe this is a case of "right book at the wrong time"?
There were a few things my couch editor would have liked to change, but for the most part this was a pretty nice read. The plot held my attention, and the characters were flawed enough to be interesting.
