I feel like a read a different book than everyone else here.

This book had great potential but it didn't live up to it. There was too much going on. I kind of felt like I was listening to one of my sons telling a story. "And then this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened..." Practically everyone in the book turned out to be an enemy of the main couple. The revenge plot didn't make any sense. The way that the hero chose to pretend to be a wild man when he really wasn't just didn't make sense. How was that supposed to help anything? It was a ludicrous idea. Just FYI, fighting at a ball will not make anyone think you're insane. Most of the scenes were very short and there were just too many of them. (again, and then this happened, and then this happened) The plot wandered all over. It was RIFE with coincidence after coincidence. When the lady who raised her turned out to be in on this 20 year old plot I couldn't take it anymore. I finally got disgusted with the level of coincidence and skimmed the last two chapters.

There were good moments. I wish the book had concentrated on the psychic ability of the heroine and having her actually help heal a man who didn't fit in with society to overcome his anger and wildness etc. That's the story I thought I was going to be reading. The scenes with the two of them swimming and things like that were very nice.

Thanks melissaB for loaning it to me even though it didn't work for me. ( )

A good book. I really don't like paranormal stories, but that seemed somewhat believable. Ella and Leo were interesting characters and their romance built nicely. ( )
