Customer comments on this selection.
 Very Boring
I tried really hard to like this story. In the end, I didn't care about either the hero or the heroine. She was weak and he came off as a jerk. If I had as much power as Tamlyn is suppose to have, I would have turned Julian into a toad, warts and all. It would have been so much better if spells were cast, magical beasts were seen, and more acts of magic performed. But none of that occurred, leaving me very disappointed.
Get if from the library, if at all.
I realize that some repetition of theme and storyline is an acceptable risk when one reads many books in a single genre. But the things that keeps me reading romance are the different twists an author takes on recycled stories and the individuality of the characters involved, which should never be recycled.
I felt like I'd read these characters a million times before, heard the same cliched dialoge twice that much and really didn't care in the slightest what happened to any of them.
 Enjoyable light read.
I thought this book was a very light and enjoyable read. I am shocked at the harsh reviews. I can't find anything so bad that it requires such negativity. It is not a stellar book, but I did enjoy it. The beginning immediately got my attention, and I found myself wanting to read to the end. I am also very interested in the next story. Damian and Aithinne are both interesting characters and I am excited to see how their romance unwinds.
Not the most renown romance, but pleasurable.
Awkward
I really wanted to enjoy this book. Unfortunately, that was far from the case. I am generally a fan of this genre (who doesn't love a Scottish accent?!?) but found the plot line to be boring and awkward. I did not feel there was any character development. The heroine was stupid and irritating and the hero overbearing and irritating. The paranormal aspects of this novel felt like they had been thrown in at the last second so that this novel could be classified as both paranormal and historical.
I also found the writing style of this book to be unpleasant to read. The way and style in which a book is written have just as much (if not more) importance than the plot. Is this a high-school aged author? I am hoping this is an anomaly and that there are not multiple novels available that are this poorly written.
Misled
[...]I found the writing to be quite amaturish and surprised to see that this author is not new. [...]
So, I found this book to not be up to the standard of this genre - it felt stilted in it's writing. I can't really recommend it.
