Lennix is a crusader. One of her biggest enemies is the Cane family. What she didn't expect was to fall in love with one of them. 
Maxim wants nothing to do with his corrupt father. For him, that looks like lying to the beautiful girl he meets at a protest. 

This was an interesting book (the first in a series). I liked Lennix and how much of her culture and backstory we got. I liked Maxim's character and all of the climate facts that came along with him. The beginning of the book was my favorite, honestly. Seeing them meet when they are young and so idealistic. But, I did have some problems as the story went along. I didn't like how the book was paced. I think it would have been better if the past and present chapters were mixed. 
The present day chapters run like an episode of Scandal. Lennix played the part of Olivia. BUT, I wanted to see more of how she became that hard person. 

All in all, this was an interesting action, spicy romance.
