My Review Kinley is a powerful woman or should I say a fallen angel. So, it would only stand to reason that she deserves three powerful men in her life. They are Altas, Rook and Sylas. These three guys are the perfect combination.  Kinley using the word "cantankerous" to describe Sylas is accurate. I love Rook's cheekiness...

Obey the Sovereign; Command the weak, they say. Who’s the weak one now? My Review Warning as there the actions of the evil council men towards the women are horrible and not consenting in nature.  The scenes are graphic but not too long. They are important though to the storyline. Don't worry as each woman gets their HEA.  This book is broken into four parts. Each part focusing on a different woman however, each part is interconnected to the overall plot and each part progresses the story. In the first part we are introduced to Scarlett. This is her first year attending "The Cottages". I felt for Scarlett but luckily, she had a guardian...
