The reviews on this one are mixed, and to be honest, so am I. While Chance is certainly gifted in prose, her often beautiful descriptions sometimes merge on being too fluffy...obscuring what doesn't need to be obscured. In simpler words...sometimes simple=better. Sometimes a story with great potential, like this one, is muddled with all the effort the author puts in with words. So...yes, there were parts of this book I liked and I found the plot enticing to say the least. And while at times I enjoyed the writing, others times it simply felt like too much...and it all leaves me undecided.
