Ratings and reviews

It was a good book, but I do feel that due to the content the author should put a warning in the beginning. I had no idea that the story line would contain some brutal stuff and that could be very triggering to somebody who has been through that situation.

A beautiful romance, loved it! Romance stories do not need explicit sex scenes to be fantastic. A touch will do. Kristine created a beautiful story I enjoyed immensely. Too bad the authors of today don't realize this fact.

Not too bad. I knew what the ending would be before I read it rather obvious!
