Review
“I've been locked in my own world for a really long time," he says. “I have an excuse to keep people away, because of my disability. And then I saw your tattoo..." I turn his wrist over and trace my finger across it. He shudders at my touch, closing his eyes tightly. "And I felt like maybe, just maybe, we were locked in our own little worlds and could let each other out.”
This book was so awesome! Like really, really awesome. I can’t get over the characters or the plot. The moment that Kit and Logan meet is pretty perfect. Logan makes an ass out of himself and Kit races out of the tattoo parlor, but not without first giving Logan some payback. Leaving behind her drawing, Logan connects instantly with it. The author did a great job of creating this relationship between Kit and Logan. It is like they are in their own secret world, at least until the outside forces its way in.
Kit is this runaway girl who gets all of her money from busking. Logan seems like this white knight (okay, maybe not at first) that swoops into her life and saves her. Yet she doesn’t worship the ground he walks on, instead she challenges him and his family. Kit’s personality is perfect for her character. She’s the right amount of feisty and loving. She might not trust Logan with her name, but she shows him all of the emotion she can.
“This girl will shred me. I already know she will. And I’m jumping in with everything I am anyway.”
Logan is pretty freakin’ amazing. I’ll admit to falling in love with him a little! He just had that perfect mix of protective instinct and vulnerability and would make any girl melt into a puddle on the floor. I think I enjoyed the parts of the book from his personality the most, they were filled with so much emotion and it really made the book. I kept waiting to find a facet of Logan that I didn’t look but it never really happened.
For me, it was kind of crazy how quickly Logan and Kit clicked. It was like suddenly they went from strangers to this deep relationship. When this happens in a book the author has to take extreme care so the relationship between the characters isn’t perceived as fake. But Tammy Falkner does an amazing job of creating so much emotion that it works. I even liked how she had Kit realize how fast the relationship was moving because once again she made it that much more realistic.
Overall this book was super super awesome. The characters are great. The storyline is great. The author is great. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone looking for a standalone or a series. I can pretty much guarantee that this will be a favorite in your library after you read it. It definitely is in mine, plus a book that I like to re-read on occasion.
“He laughs with no sound. God, he's so handsome when he smiles. And when he's not smiling. And when he's sleeping. And when he's awake. And when he's breathing.”

Author Info.
Tammy Falkner lives on a farm in a lovely, sprawling little town in rural NC with her beekeeper husband and a house full of boys, a few dogs, and a cat or two (or five – who has time to count?). As half of the Lydia Dare team, she has co-written ten books, including the Westfield Wolves series and the Gentlemen Vampyre series. A huge fan of Regency England, she often wonders what other kinds of magical, mythical and strange creatures might live and interact within the ton. Exploring the theory that the fae can walk between Regency England and their own land, Tammy spends as much time as possible with the lords and ladies of society, horse-drawn carriages, and elegant balls. Now add to that some faeries, a little murder, a bit of mayhem, and a troublesome garden gnome, and you have her exciting new series. She hopes you enjoys her world as much as she does.
