Review: While I'm a huge fan of RaeAnne Thayne's Lake Haven series but, to be honest, I found this latest book a bit bland.
There's a lot of introspection from both main characters, but not much action, and I didn't think they even interacted enough to be able to form a tight friendship, much less love - especially given the past history on both sides.
The wording is repetitive in places and the end sounds way too rushed, but after all being said and done, it's a nice fairytale-ish romance and will account for a few well spent hours. Doesn't deserve more than 4 stars, though.
