Editorial Review:
For years Courtland Becket had denied himself the only woman who stirred his blood, yet he could no longer pretend to ignore the lovely Cassandra. For gone was the girl he had once teased—replaced by a fully grown woman, adamant that they act on their long-denied feelings. It was time for the self-appointed protector of all things Becket to allow himself a taste of the forbidden.
But passion's price might very well prove too high when an age-old enemy returns to wreak revenge against the entire Becket clan, leaving Courtland torn between his newfound love?and his duty to the family that means more to him than life itself.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Disappointing
I agree with others who found the Cassandra/Courtland relationship icky, and I thought the whole book had the feeling of just going through the motions. I was disappointed by the ending--the series has been leading up to this final confrontation, but by the time it happens, there are now so many characters that it takes pages to fill and empty a room of them all. I wouldn't buy this one again--if you must read it, get it from the library.
Rating:  - good ending
Ok, I see some other reviewers were a little creeped out. I get that, Courtland and Cassie were raised as siblings. However, I was able to get around that OK, since for practically the whole series; Ms. Michaels has been telling us that Courtland and Cassie were a done deal. So I was prepared. Cassie was sheltered, it is true, as were all the Becket girls, whom all seemed to have fallen in love with the first man they met. For some reason that didn't bother me either, normally, it would. I will ... Read More
Rating: - Too creepy for me...
I have to agree with A. Arend, this pairing is too creepy for me to stomach. As far as I'm concerned these two were raised as brother and sister, hence that makes it incest. Adoption makes them family, period. I don't care if they aren't blood. Woody Allen tried to sell that one and I didn't believe him either. I just got goosebumps, and not in the good way, every time they made love to each other. Especially as Court's always having memories of her as a baby playing with dolls or something else ...

Rating:  - Finally Over
First, I have to say that I wasn't fond of the Court/Cassandra match, and found it to be a bit creepy. Not only because of the huge age difference, but because of the brother/sister connection, AND the fact that Court so obviously had a huge crush on Cassandra's mother, whom it's mentioned before that Cassandra looks exactly like. Perhaps die-hard fans of this series find the match to be very romantic. I just didn't. The girl is eighteen and had always had a childish crush on Court, and yet I'm supposed ... Read More
Rating:  - Perfect Ending to a Great series
The Becket of Romney Marsh is an amazing series, and Kasey Michaels finishes it off nicely with this, the final book. I loved the series and unlike some series that sag a little toward the last few books, you can't wait for the ending to this. The over-arching plot that runs through all the books really keeps things moving.
Love loved it and highly recommend it!
