The Rose and the Thorn

Average rating4.3
Two thieves want answers. Riyria is born. For more than a year, Royce Melborn has tried to forget Gwen DeLancy, the woman who saved him and his partner Hadrian Blackwater when all other doors were closed against them. Unable to stay away any longer, they return to Medford to a very different reception - she refuses to see them. Once more she is shielding them, this time from the powerful noble who abused her. She was right to suspect Royce wouldn't care about rank and privilege or fear any repercussions from reprisal. What she didn't realise is what he was capable of - until now.

5 stars! Review will be full of spoilers.
Biggest revelation from this book:
* Royce was not always good at planning stuff (aka he was an idiot at one point)
Another wonderful book from Michael J. Sullivan. I love reading tales of Hadrian and Royce. Learning more about Gwen is a treat. This time we also learn how Hilfrid became Arista's bodyguard. I just want more, as usual!
Just when I thought Michael J. Sullivan couldn't get better, he surprised me with this book. I love the characters even more than ever. Hadrian and Royce will forever be my favorite friends in books.
