When I read one of the reviews when I was thinking of buying this book, I was hesitant. The review had said that Ace had been very patient, even though Caitlin wasn't being cooperative.
I decided to buy the book any way, because I've read almost all of Catherine Anderson's books, and I had read Summer Breeze before I read this one, so I was curious about Ace's and Caitlin story.
When I started the book, it seemed interesting enough. It never did get boring. But the problem some people might have is that there's never any big romance until about 2/3 into the book.
I'm kind of being pulled back and forth on whether or not I can believe Caitlin's hesitancy. She's more scared of Ace than any other heroine I've ever encountered. And sure, she had her good reasons, but I've read other books where the female's situation was a lot worse, and yet they were much more willing.
Any way, this story warmed my heart every time Ace did something sweet. He really is a compassionate character.
And there's a BIG surprise at the end! So surprising, I almost stopped breathing. Even though I knew the outcome (I had read the sequel first by accident), it still scared the bejesus out of me.
Any way, just because this might sound like dull book, I really recommend it. It's got a little more suspense than we are used to from Ms. Anderson, and it really is an excellent read. |
