I've read other Ranney books, but no other has left me filled with such a deep sense of longing: I couldn't wait to see how it ended and then was sad that there was no more. I found the story to be intriguing. Both of the characters are tortured and their sparring relationship forces down the walls each has built.

One review states that the initial sexual encounter was just thrown in to move a floundering story along, but I disagree completely. When it occurred, I was enjoying the way the story unfolded. In fact, I think the surprise I felt at the sudden realization of their feelings was shared by the two characters. It did not feel like a gimmick to me--I loved it and this book.

If you liked the dark, haunting romance of "The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie," you will love this one also.

Rating: 4.75 stars
