Probably the sweetest Harlequin I've read, it wasn't overly dramatic and the MC's had genuine chemistry.
I felt Willow was a strong character, she was passionate, sweet, smart, and had a fiery temper. She wasn't meek or annoying like most FMC's in Harlequins and she had a good head on her shoulders. I especially loved how in tune she was with Achilles and the I loved the advice she gave him.
At first I thought Achilles would also defy the usual stereotypical MMC, but towards the end he kind of ruined that. I still enjoyed his character though and the conflict was very short lived so it is forgiven.
