Full of atmosphere and mystery helped by the excellent description of the remote Scottish island and the characters makes this an enthralling read.

This is a difficult one for me to explain how I feel about it. On the one hand, I really enjoyed it but on the other, I found it a little confusing.

I enjoyed this. it was a fun read with a great cast of characters and I loved the relationship between Belle and Rome.

P.S I can't help wondering if Belle is the woman Lexis saw n Rome's future?

Looking forward to the next book in the series!

Not having read any of Mary Burton’s books before [where have I been living!!!!], I didn’t know what to expect but the description sounded like something I would enjoy and I did.

Calum (17 KP) created a post in Smashbomb Feedback

Jul 13, 2018  
I am slightly confused, I tried to add one of my favourite game top the site, N++. I added it but when I search for the game it doesn't appear but my profile still has the credit to adding it:

https://smashbomb.com/s/n

I also can't seem to edit the page, add a description, etc. The screen just stays blank as if I'm missing a required field but no error messages appear.

Is the fact that the game has two ++'s in the title confusing the site somehow?

I managed to add a picture for the game but can't seem to add a description or any details.

a great lazy afternoon read!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

Britney and Alex had a week in Vegas, a whirlwind romance, followed by a wedding. But Britney runs from Alex on their wedding night and ahs been pushing for a divorce ever since. Alex needs a wife to secure his family ranch's future. So, Alex will give Britney her divorce, if she will give him two weeks. Will that be enough for them both to get what they want? Who they want?

This review will be short, and I apologise for that!

I liked this. It was a n..n..n...n......it was an easy read, perfect way to pass a rainy afternoon, a perfect hangover cure, both book and alcohol induced!

I just can't get passed that N word for this book, and ya'll know how much it pains me to use that word, and how much it pains me not to be able to say what I want!

It's not overly complicated, nor is it explicit, but it is sexy. It's full of Hawaiian (sorry if this is spelt wrong!) words, with translations both in the main body of the text, and a glossary at the front of the book. I didn't look at the glossary; I had all the information given to me as the words popped up. Lots of beautiful scenery described too.

I saw no editing or spelling errors to spoil my reading enjoyment, and I read it in one sitting.

This is the first I've read of this author. Will I read more? Possibly. I really did LIKE this book.

3 good solid stars

**same worded review will appear elsewhere**

omg omg o.m.g i loooooove this book it was just the right amount of dark and sexy. I don't usually like ALL the main characters in a book but Zeth was the right amount of dark and sexy, Sloan was the right amount of tough and vulnerable and LLacey was the right amount of crazy n damaged. This book was fast n dark just the way i like it got me desperate to read the second book
