The forgiven duke

The adventure continues. The pace does not let up at all, but even here the story does not end.
I really hated the whole John Lemon thing. Especially how it ended! He felt like a slimy, unnecessary part. He wasn't even a convincing villain. I'd have given the book five stars if he hadn't been a part of it. Especially when he had such a good uncle. There's some pretty mature subject matter here too, with possible rape, a lot of violence, and a graphically described death.
I really liked how much the duke matures in this, though. His trails seem to be making quite the man of him.
