In the end Noah takes responsibility for his own emotional needs (please note he *never* dumps that on Pilar, I love this man). It is notable also that though Noah finds joy and healing in his relationship with Pilar, great sex does not cure trauma. As ever Ms Bev leads the way, because we see Noah's pain and trauma but that doesn't stop him being a terrific hero. I don't think I've seen a romance where the cishet male hero was raped before. Noah has a brutal backstory in which he was shanghaied and spent six months on a prison island where he was raped several times. A star.ĬW: spoilers here for discussion of rape. She also executes, nearly literally, a fantastic "saving her man" bit of violence. Pilar is a thief, Cuban rebel, and gun runner who steals Noah's boat and draws a sword on him at a party. A terrific conclusion to this series, which stars three absolutely glorious heroines.
