Summary
Valentina is my favorite heroine in the O'Malley series and more like Skye than Skye's offspring is. When a family secret is revealed, Valentina shows us her adventurous spirit and heads East! Her adventures are incredible! I appreciated how Mrs. Small touched on \"The Kadin\" through the duchy of San Lorenzo and reintroducing us to Esther Kira (who met Valentina's mother in \"A Love for All Time\"). Also, the appearance of Cica Pasha tied into \"Love Wild and Fair.\" Wonderful!
Violence: Ms Small writes graphically not holding much back
Language: bad language throughout
Sexual: Sex scenes are ALWAYS graphic! There are rapes, incest, more than just missionary style, etc. She does not edit.
Drug & Alcohol: some drinking throughout book
