I really liked this story.  The plot was unusual and I enjoyed it a lot.  There were plenty of twists and turns to keep my interest, which never lagged. In fact the very first chapter opened with a bang. The relationship between the main characters kept things hopping too. No Inta-Forgiveness here.  I liked that and the fact that there was regret and hurt but its not so heavy that it bogged the story down.  Brook had  legitimate grievances with Lila, that stemmed from their past history.  As the story unfolds, you begin to see just how cruel she had been as a sefish young beauty.  We also began to see some of the hurts that she has lived through in her selfish family.  Brook began over time to see some possible changes in how she was now.  But his thinking is, "is it real and what does it matter now?"  I liked Brook, who has been somewhat hardened by life and his past experience with Lila.  He still couldn't hide his kindess and honor that did still exist.  

The villain of the piece was exactly that.  Cruel and Cunning.  And you will find out that there is more than one, villain.

There will at some point sex and a HEA, but it will be hard fought for.
