Sometimes I wonder if another review is necessary, but I think a few things should be explained.
1. the Publisher is Cerridwen Press which is also part of Elloras Cave. So if you are a fan of EC, you might not find this book is racy enough for you. I dont read much romance or erotica so this book fit me fine.
2. I really dont think book deserves the genre Romance, which I dont like, I would call it more womens fiction, contemporary fiction. It falls between a Elizabeth Berg and an Oprah book (but not as depressing).
3. It was kinda easy to see the outcome of the mysterious night that Nick's abusive father is killed. You wont feel duped, but you might want to say tell the truth already!!!
4. The end gets kinda sappy annoying. That is were it is really a romance. It kinda got wrapped up too easy. Alix, the main character, goes around in such a mess for years and in a few weeks she pulls her crap together. Cue music, tie it up in a pink ribbon. Ok not exactly, cause the author saves her behind by adding in her epilogue, that they didnt ride off into the sunset, and live happily ever after, but that it took time and work. My words not hers.
5. I read this entire book all 301 pages in one evening. It just clips along and at a steady pace, and I wanted to see the book through to the end.
6. It really is worth reading. I save 4 and 5 stars for those great books that move you forever. This one is not forgettable, but not sure if it will be a forever.
