Although this book, compared to the Spymaster's Lady (which I believe is the author's best), is not quite as explosive in term of sexual intensity, but it is more mature and much warmer. I do believe a year from now I would still be able to remember this book quite vividly while I couldn't recall much of the Spymaster's Lady now except for the bathtub scene. While giving it 5 stars, I didn't find it no fault. While the budding of romance is excellently and credibly told, the twelve-year period the couple are estranged is scarcely mentioned like an afterthought which makes the reunion not as fulfilling or as rewarding as it should have been. But when compared to other books I rated four stars, Black Hawk to me is superior in every way so it would be injustice to give it any less.
5/5
Read it yourself.
