Loved, Loved Loved it!
A good suspensefull tale that doesn't seem to stop moving forward. A smart intelligent heroine who's overcome much (the fact of which made me like her even more, and may be hard for Ms Reece to top), and a Hero with a sense of honor & who I'd have liked to know more of made an overall compelling story... Though not perfect... the few things that bothered me: (These aren't major spoilers, and may even more raise questions then answer any, but I think they'd still be considered spoilers, so beware):
The summary doesn't mention this (and I'll try not to give away to much here) but at one point the mother of the heroine flat out lies to both the H and h (as well as other people)... they both know she's an evil vile liar, yet they both still fall victim to her lies...Seriously? And at another point the h is hurt and alone and needs to contact someone...Does she call her step dad who she knows loves (or at least has some affection for) her? Of course not, she calls evil mom again! Evil mom who she knows doesn't even like her! Grrrr....
There was also a bit at when Ms Reece intro's the heroine (as well as the relationship ) from the next book in this series (Return to Me) that annoyed me, but the end made up for it... Mostly. And While I defnitely look forward to reading more from CR (despite the few bits that bugged me), I may have to wait a while though, before reading that heroine's story, so I can stop being so annoyed at her!

The first 20 pages of this book I thought were rather slow. Once it picked up I could not put it down.
