Just say no...
13 Feb 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I couldn't even finish this book it was so horribly written. The 2 main characters were dry. Rafael was way too autocratic and Isabella's character was too wishy-washy. I realize she'd have conflicting feelings after being in a convent for 4 years when it came to a man who attracted her, but I think the author took it too the extreme. So much so you weren't sure what was going on anymore. Rafael was stiff and demanding (you'd think alpha male in a good way since it's romance, but no...).
Maybe the book got better at the half-way point (which is where I had to put it down), but I had so much trouble getting that far it didn't matter to me how the book turned out because it wasn't worth wasting my time and sanity to get through to the end.
I've read 2 of Ms. Davidson's previous books and I know for sure that I finished them and I must have not thought they were too bad otherwise I'd remember. But this one...(shaking my head) I always remember the ones I can't bring myself to finish.

An ok read but not her best
3 Mar 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I love Carolyn Davidson books but this particular book was not one of her best. The two main characters Rafeal Mckenzie and Isabella were just to bland. Nothing really exciting about them. The story just seem to drag on and on and it felt like Carolyn was repeating herself throughout the whole story. If you are a first time reader of her books please dont pick this one. She really is one of my favorite authors but this one book could not even keep me capitavated like all her others.

If I Could Give It -5 Stars, I Would
28 July 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Horrible! Absolutely horrible!!
Now, usually I can stomach my way through a badly written book with relatively boring characters if it has a good and interesting storyline...BUT I cannot stomach when the heroine is an all-out idiot, which ultimately results in a stupid storyline! Headstrong? I can live with that. Makes a couple of silly, avoidable mistakes? We all do it. But Isabella is simply beauty without brains. She's wishy-washy, boring, easily manipulated, and just plain dumb. I couldn't take it. I had to throw the book across the room when the depths of her stupidity were revealed and I will not be picking it back up.
Plus, it drags on FOREVER!! There are a bunch of unnecessary, uninteresting, and simply redundant details that makes this book a hard read.
Now, this is my first Carolyn Davidson book, but seeing as all of my favorite authors have released a bad book or two out of the many they've published, I will give her another chance. But man...this was a BAD start...
