Customer Reviews

A pleasant read

Overall this was a pleasant read. I tend to prefer something deeper- substantive. Even fictional reads should have a believable story line. Xanthe and Dane have a history; the circumstances of their brief union and the collapse of it in their youth seem fathomable. The explanation of how the divorce failed to be appropriately filed was far-fetched given Xanthe's father's rigidity, his controlling nature- especially given the lengths he went to rid her of Dane. That being the case, I found the basis for the novel weak. Trust- and lack of it- was a central theme that brought interest to the story. How our past experiences can impact and arrest our development, hardening us, is touched upon- and gave food for thought. There was plenty of steam- not much romance. The conclusion and epilogue were touching- and redeeming! A save in the final quarter!!!
