I came across it being discussed somewhere online and was intrigued. It was really hard for me to see this book as a romance, at first, I thought that Sebastian was going to make me hate him, but I couldn't and watching them develop as people was great. <BR/>There were places in the novel that really troubled me, but I guess it a sign of how well written something is if it can reach you.<BR/>I thought this book was richly nuanced and the way that the charachters are developed made them feel real for me. I will hold on to this book! I also really wanted to find a place to rave about it. I found that I could truly beleive in their HEA.Talithareadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13196369332782164240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-79277889209975621062008-02-15T19:08:00.000-05:002008-02-15T19:08:00.000-05:00Hey, I found a copy at the UBS!

I really like her historicals (much better than her women's fiction), and something a little lighter could be good. :)Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804281162557876557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-74443741538223256172008-02-11T20:50:00.000-05:002008-02-11T20:50:00.000-05:00This one is quite controversial but I've always re...This one is quite controversial but I've always really enjoyed it. It's my favourite of the trilogy by far!<BR/>For a completely different vibe by this author, you really, REALLY (and I mean REALLY) need to read Wild at Heart.

The journey they took to over come them made them become better people. When they do finally get their HEA it feels so worth it.Jill D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10994157783980931093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-44907303339376652402008-02-11T11:11:00.000-05:002008-02-11T11:11:00.000-05:00Cindy--Yeah, I think the reissue (a trade paperbac...Cindy--Yeah, I think the reissue (a trade paperback) was put out in 2005. It's the edition I have. You know, you should really read this one--I would even say that it's a bit Anne Stuart-ish. !! Dark and angsty hero and all that. :)<BR/><BR/>Nath--I don't think it's too hard. I'm looking forward to the first book, but hadn't heard anything about the 3rd. And yes, I read one of Gaffney's contemps--Saving Graces I think was the name. It was very women's fiction, less romance. And I'm generally not to keen on women's fiction. But it was okay.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804281162557876557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-3571801054966941132008-02-11T08:17:00.000-05:002008-02-11T08:17:00.000-05:00by the way, Jennie, did you read this author's con...by the way, Jennie, did you read this author's contemporary work? because I think I have a book by this author, but it's contemporary and I wonder if it's good :Pnathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-63863687329048468072008-02-11T08:16:00.000-05:002008-02-11T08:16:00.000-05:00Hmm, this book sounds pretty good!

I'm trying to find a copy of the most recently published book. I have the original but it looks too frail to read. <BR/><BR/>CindySCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.com
