I've been loving this series and Greene's writing. Each couple featured in this series have very different dynamics and, while they are all interlinked and inhabit the same space, each book feels separate enough that they can be read as a standalone. That can be a pro or con to the reader - there are times that I wish there was more interaction between past characters. In this book we do see the other two remaining Beasts that starred in the last two books but we don't see their companions and, besides the fire from the first novel being a major plot element here, past events are hardly mentioned. I kind of needed a recap to remember what exactly happened in the last books to not be lost in some parts.
The second book in the series remains my favourite, though this might take second place. Frakes is just much more interesting a character than Gabe, Edward, Will, or Josiah - and I missed August who made no appearance here at all.
Overall, a worthwhile series that I definitely recommend for lovers of historical MM romance.
