It took me a while to warm up to Willow. She was such a selfish and superficial person. As the story played out, I got to see more of who she really was and why she did what she did. Conrad was a rather patient young man and took his responsibilities seriously. This was a reunion type of tale, together now they were grown up. There was a lot of sneaking around and doing the right thing when needed.
I received an ARC of this story, and this is my unsolicited review.
