      November 22, 2005: I loved this book. I love fantasy, but haven't read much romance, so this was a newbie on me. Wow, Cat really sees with the heart! I felt for Jenna when (the very desirable) Cael rejected her -- unrequited love is so darn hard! The tension between the two is dynamite, and kept me reading well into the night. The fantasy world is well-created, and the magic very different to the usual witchcraft and wizardry. I found the whole fantasy aspect to be satisfying and believable. I can't wait for more from Cat -- and to visit Camarrhan again!

      November 16, 2005: I loved this. Cat Collins sees with the heart. The fantasy world of Camarrhan is an interesting, parallel world where magic takes the place of technology. Not spell-making or wizardry kind of magic, but a practical, fantastical, imaginative kind of magic that really works for those lucky enough to be gifted. I couldn't put it down. The non-relationship of Cael and Jenna had me both intrigued and frustrated, and the way the author plays them and their emotions off against each other is most involving. I wanted to cheer whenever Cael made some small concession to Jenna, but wanted to thump him often! She's feisty yet vulnerable, strong but not pushy. He's desirable and talented, yet bound by his beliefs and culture. I loved the magic of the land and the way it works. Healers heal (of course), Empaths mindspeak, and can pick up others emotions. Wayfinders provide doorways into other worlds as well as transporting Camarrhan folk around the land and Wielders can call up magical fire for light, heat or as a weapon. The supporting cast of characters is also well-written. The villain is a nasty piece of work, and I thought Cat did well in 'creeping me out' with his sadistic side. I want to visit Camarrhan again, and I definitely want to read more about Cael and Jenna. They are hot! (Cat writes a good sex scene, too -- tasteful, not graphic, but mm!)
