Determined to do her duty, she engages the arrogant earl in a battle of both wit and wills.

As Samantha begins to let the light back into Gabriel’s life and his heart, they both discover that some secrets — and some pleasures — are best explored in the dark …

Summary
Overall Once started it is hard to put down. I stayed up way too late and then was almost late for work because I was just going to read a couple pages before I left. It is a compelling story with very appealing and unusual characters. The author did a great job of making Gabriel a hero although he was blind. The story could have been a twist of the Beauty and the Beast story. The story was funny, touching and heartwarming.
Violence Some descriptions of the violence in the war. nothing I found disturbing.
Language I don't recall very many profane words.
Sexual This one is tough. Sex doesn't occur throughout the book. I believe there were 3-4 scenes. They were longer and described in detail.
Drug & Alcohol There were a couple scenes of drinking. Nothing that distracted from the story.
