It is the typical Roberts' book with the predictable characters and plot. The ghosts/past reliving moments was overdone. The story of Devin was expected. However both stories were dull, and repetitive in conjunction with Rafe and Jared.
I would recommend a different series, Born in Ice, Fire, and Shame, for newcomers. She is a phenomenal author...just have to be careful with the republications.Fun and Light reading................ I'm not into reading Silhouette romances,but Nora"s romances are the exceptions. I've previously read Rafe's and Jared MacKade's stories and really enjoyed them. I have to say that I enjoyed the ladies Regan and Savannah very much. Devin's story was sort of expected, I knew that Cassie would be his from very early on, I was just waiting for how Nora would play out Joe Dolin her former husband, for some reason his story was not my favorite. Shane's story saved the book, I loved how she played the Civil War theme with Rebecca a para-psychologist. I enjoyed Shane and Rebecca. Sumerizing all I would have to say that Jared's and Shane's stories were my favorites.
I would also recommend Midnight Bayou by Nora Roberts and her Three Sisters Island trilogy and the Quinn Brothers books.I Love Nora Roberts, And I have been a fan for years, and years, and years, and...well, you get the idea. I had a fun time reading this book. I love the characters. This book is a fast and fun read and would add a little zest to a lazy afternoon of reading for anyone that likes this genre!
