My Review:
**3 Stars**
I received a copy of this book for an honest review as part of this blog tour.
MY OVERVIEW: While I really did enjoy the story, I feel that it needed just a little more editing. It was rough in parts and the beginning seemed like it skipped scenes that should have been in there.
PROS: So, I really thought that I knew who Peter was and was just like "oh, just out with it"... but then... surprise! Betcha didn't see that coming! It was a twist that I really didn't expect and I love it when that happens. I love how the author created this whole mysterious story behind The Wounded Cavalier painting. I thought it was really creative and beautifully done.
CONS: This was a "New Adult" paranormal romance, so I did expect some sex in it. However, I was not prepared for the very graphic sex scenes. I don't mind that the scenes were in there, but I wasn't happy with how graphic they were. It is something that I would think would probably belong in an erotic novel.
MY FINAL THOUGHTS: I wish I could say that there was one character that I fell in love with, however there wasn't. I probably would have liked Ollie the best if we had learned a little more about him, and he showed up a little more. I do like the looks of the next book in the series, so I do plan on reading it.
About the Author:
In addition to being an author, I work as an entrepreneur, wife and mother-of-one but spend a good deal of time with books, DVDs and listening to my mp3 player; all for the sake of inspiration, of course.
My debut series, The Oxford Trilogy, has been a blast to write because I can indulge in my favorite types of music: Country and English rock.
My main goal as a writer is to make readers dream bigger and cause their hearts to beat a little faster. Since my writing is all about sharing dreams and stories, I love connecting with fellow readers and authors.
