3.0

I liked this book and the plot. I liked how Colleen chose to present the characters, and how she chose to reveal things later on. The POV switch gave insight into how the other person was feeling, and I liked that I could see things from two perspectives,

and how gradually, they seemed to come together as Kenna and Ledger fell in love.

I thought that the book was pretty slow. I wish she would have put a sub-plot in, because the main plot wasn’t quite enough for me to keep it interesting. It did get better in the end, but I thought the ending was predictable. Overall, great book, but not her best. I would compre it to “Layla”.
