Christa, I had to know more about this book after reading your annotation. This part of a Goodreads review made me smile: "Now, I know that I have been outspoken in the past about my dislike of fantasies featuring caveman, bad-boy type hero characters. However, I think that I know and respect dozens of women who melt in the presence of these guys. Do I look down on my friends for their fantasy preferences? Absolutely not, because guess what? We all have a fantasy weakness. We all have that certain fairy tale that bypasses every logical part of our brains and just makes us feel giddy and excited." So true! Will you read the other books in the trilogy?
ReplyDeleteGood summary - but I'm hoping for a little more in your appeals. This was a very short annotation. Minor 1 point deduction for brevity.
