This book was tedious! It's top heavy with detail upon detail and frankly, too many characters - the plot is weighed down by them. Unfortunately, the heroine Catalina is as shallow as a lake in the Sahara. She has no reason for being, except to be beautiful-looking; she has no personality. I think that annoyed me most of all. Nothing kills a book like a blah heroine. The plot COULD have been good - I love a revenge plot that turns into a love story - but the main characters, Marc and Catalina are so wooden, and they behave so predictably, that their love doesn't resonate. The love scenes aren't sensual. Marc's revenge and the reasons behind it, are resolved too tidily for belief. All in all, I regret wasting my time with this book.
