Very promising new author. Burrowes excels in her characters, her writing flows smoothly and the story is engaging, if a little mundane. The biggest problem is the TSTL heroine. HUGE pet peeve! This is where the "first time novel" syndrome screams through - and all the little inconsistencies add up to frustration. Each of the heroines choices just don't ring true to life, given the way the author painted her character - especially the totally incomprehensible reason she refused to trust Westhaven. He did nothing but love and protect her, treat her with compassion and caring. She accepts all his love, all the benefits of his regard then brainlessly refuses to believe.... what? She makes NO sense! Tighten it up and keep it consistent, however, and Burrowes next book could truly be a winner.
