I was intrigued by the character Seth from the beginning. His Native roots gave him a mysterious persona which kept me in anticipation. The story dragged slightly but from about the middle to end it was a page gripper. It took an thrilling new direction which made it hard to put down. A great read! ( )

I am not into pure romance stories. I’m also usually very suspicious of stories where the main female character instantly falls in love even though she has a horrible abusive past (including almost being killed). I was seriously worried when I started the book, skeptical and usually I would put the book down at this point. However, I was compelled to give the book a chance. I kept on reading and I was not disappointed. I loved the story and the setting. The author is successful in making me want to like Shannon and Seth. In fact, I was physically smiling at points in the book and fearing for Shannon and Seth in other parts.The switch between viewpoints was confusing especially at the beginning. I had a difficult time following the story and the action seemed choppy at points. However, if you can get beyond the fact that you are reading a book that was not edited by a major publishing house; I think you will really enjoy the story. ( )

The Chemistry between the main characters, Seth and Shannon, was HOT, HOT, HOT. Sexy Indian? Check. Sexy shower scenes? Check. Intense romance? Check. This book had all of those. These two are always at each other, in the sense, if they were made of candy they'd eat each other alive. I really don't think they could ever, in a lifetime, get enough of one another. Seth has a beautiful mane, mysterious eyes, rock hard tanned body. Shannon is beautiful with eyes you could swim in. If you could rely on Seth to do one thing, that would be to scoop Shannon up. He was always sweeping her off her feet. There is no doubt the author was able to betray how crazy these two where for each other. She made me blush a time or two.
I did have a few problem with the book, like how fast Shannon fell for Seth. She was in a previous abusive marriage. Her parents basically sold her when she was sixteen to be a sex slave . So,with all this abuse she once endured I figured she'd be more reserved instead of basically meeting Seth one day, and what seemed like a week later, planning their wedding. I also didn't understand how quick she considered Irene and Paddy family. I just thought she'd be more guarded towards people and especially towards men.
One of the main problems I had with the book is it contained many errors, the story was a little choppy and the switching between pov's was confusing. It is more in the shape of an arc not a polished book. That would be fine, but I paid $18 for a soft cover book. The book needed more editing in my opinion.
There where points where Seth's temper made me think Shannon was crazy for being with him. The time frames for some of the events were unbelievable. I was under the impression this was a small town. How did Seth practically build a whole downstairs apartment, with huge wall length windows, and have time to pick out the littlest details like Shannon's art smock, within the short time she was in the hospital? I had to just make myself stop questioning so much and just sit back and enjoy the story. Once I stopped trying to rationalize every little thing, it was quite an enjoyable read.
I believe the book is self published, and for that, I'm glad I purchased the book.
I also noticed the epilogue was written more smoothly. And I thought the ending was great. I was left with wishing there were more chapters to come. The author was very good at portraying the intense love scenes. I will definitely read one of her books again and wish her much success. ( )
