I've read the reviews and praise for this book and couldn't wait to get lost in it. I mean a woman in love with two men and doesn't know who to choose is some juicy stuff. Well, for me, it didn't live up to its hype. I found Sophie's character to be lackluster and indecisive. She led these two men on and they let her. Ms. Haymore kept plugging away about how Sophie was always the level headed peacemaker who had to come to a solution.

It took her the whole book to decide and we're supposed to sigh at her declaration? I found it in bad taste for her to have sex with both men. It was really necessary to the story and it seems the author just put it in there to add "spice" to her story.

What really made me mad about this story was the "dumbing down" of Tristan. He vowed to fight for his wife but seemed okay with her inevitable action of sleeping with her husband. WHAT? Where was his backbone? He let Sophie ultimately decide so what's with the declaration of fighting?

Were we supposed to like her first husband? I couldn't stand him or even care about what he'd been through. He was a bully and the fact the Sophie and Tristan allowed this man to treat them like prisoners was ridiculous. I didn't like anything about this book and chances are I won't care about the next one.
