Review text:

Quite an interesting story of mystery and murder. Angel is a retribution specialist, the law doesn't always punish people but she can. Sometimes this just involves a warning but sometimes she can get permission to kill. Now her mother is kidnapped and there's a dead body and a detective who is making her think again about using a robot for sex. It's J D Robb Light. Fans of Eve and Rourke will possibly find this a fun read, I did.

I mistakenly bought this book again. The different cover threw me. When I picked it up yesterday I kept thinking, "I've read this before." Went to story #2, same thing. I remembered that I liked all the stories. I liked the Castle story and the Wilks story the most.

I am a romantic fool and this hit the spot perfectly!

This was a fun, passionate book for lovers of the Elizabethan period. Of course Queen Elizabeth and the bard [b:William Shakespeare|18135|Romeo and Juliet|William Shakespeare|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51XTDJ3P4XL._SL75_.jpg|3349450] make appearances. In fact, they are both heavily involved in the plot of this book. It's also a good book if you like unrequited love, and friends/enemies to lovers. Rosalind was a good heroine, and I admired her determination to live her own life, even if that meant remaining unwedded. Drake was complicated and had some motives that might have made him seem amoral, but Beard did a good job of making him sympathetic. I loved that he was helplessly in love with Rosalind, and had been since he was a child. Of course love denied turns to spite. Be even at his worst, he was not cruel to Rosalind. I enjoyed that both characters grew and had to made a determination about what was really important to them in their lives. The passion between them was fiery, yet the consummation came right on time. I enjoyed the look at the bawdy, intrigue-filled, and complicated lives that people led back in the 16th century. Not always pretty or pristine, but definitely interesting. This book is a keeper.
