February 12, 2009: I have to say, this is one of my favorite books of all time. Teresa Medeiros was at her finest when she wrote this novel. I loved her characters because they are unique. Rowena is beautiful, but also fragile and vulnerable. Gareth is very, very dark - almost like a Heathcliff-type character. The chemistry between the two is very strong. Medeiros's writing style draws you into the story. Plenty of beautifully descriptive scenes and memorable dialogue. I find that many romances are dumbed-down these days, but this is a complex story with a captivating plot. The love scenes sizzle. Truly a book to cherish.

January 07, 2009: I thought this book was going to be really good based on the reviews, but it was sooo slow!!! I just had to skip through some of the pages. I just couldn't take it. I mean it had a cute ending but it drags on.
