I read the first book, My Heart's Desire featuring Samantha's older brother, Drake and his wife, Alex. This is where I was briefly introduced to Samantha. Yet, in the first book she was just a little girl. I am so glad that she got her own story. She may not have been quite a women but she was all grown up. I loved Samantha's whimsical tales of her Gothic heroines. Especially, when she would dress up and act out as the heroine to save Rem. Honestly, Rem could handle himself but when it came to Samantha he was putty. Yet, always the gentleman (mostly). There was nothing gentlemanly about the passionate kisses that he and Samantha shared many times. I absolutely loved Rem's nickname for Samantha aka Imp. It suited her perfectly. At times show more Samantha's young age did show but it was refreshing as her innocence is what was entertaining. For example, the time she poured she and Rem glasses of brandy or the time she introduced her maid to Rem. Her maid had come from a brothel of sorts. There is nothing standard about Samantha. She and Rem were eventually matched. Additionally, it was great to see Drake and Alex and there two children for a short period. Although, I enjoyed this book over the first but the first was still great in my books. show less
