This was a surprise read for me. It's one of the rereleases I got with my Harlequin Historicals. I read it, with no expectations. I was very pleasantly surprised. I fell in love with this book. I found it pretty unique how the hero and heroine first come in contact. The heroine sees Gif naked. From there things just continued in an excellent manner. I was also pleasantly surprised that the hero's cousin is Half-Black, and I wish he would have a book. Definitely on the keeper shelf.
