I got this book for free through Bookbub, and although it's the third in the series, the combo of tropes in the title was enough to intrigue me. I have to admit that the story had more depth than I expected and ended up enjoying it. I can make a reasonable guess as to the plotlines of the first two books, but I may snag them at some point any way, because I think the details and characters may be interesting enough to carry the story.
