I received an ARC from this lovely lady, and I'm so sad I got to it so late! Regardless, I loved every moment of this book! You can try to categorize a story like this with 10 different genres, but I adore how it can't really be placed into one slot and fit there comfortably. There's so much going on that you have to keep turning the pages at a rapid fire pace to know what will happen next.

Aiden and Olivia's story is an interesting one to say the least. I'm a sucker for that instant attraction/chemistry in books, so their banter caught me right from the beginning. However, it was more than an almost primal, animal lust with these two. I was obsessed with finding out what Aiden was hiding, and part of me almost didn't want to trust him. I knew Olivia's digging into her own past as well as his was a good thing, but would also get her into deep trouble. When they were good together, their chemistry jumped off the pages, but I couldn't help but hold my breath waiting for the other shoe to drop... and drop it does.

I'm obsessed with the fact that this isn't a typical romance. Seriously, it's not. I love the folklore that goes with the town history, and the mystery it leaves the town coated in. There's something enchanting, yet dangerous surrounding Esperanza Falls, and I just have this inkling that Olivia is not far from the heart of it all.

Needless to say, I'm chomping at the bit to find out what happens next!
