I am beginning to see that I don't always agree with the general concensus. I liked this book but I didn't love this book. I read it without thought or feeling. A complete disconnection from the characters. Don't get me wrong Mrs. Kenyon gives plenty background information and gives the characters some room for character development, but how much can one get within a few days of fictional time span? This book offers an instant connection and love that I've never really been able to grasp. With situations such as this, I lose the ability to relate to the romance. Don't get me wrong there are some very hot moments that got my blood racing, but it lacked the enchantment of the buildup in my opinion. I believe this is a great read for those who are looking for high steam factor.
