Obviously, the heroine is in the wrong place at the wrong time, but the interesting thing is how her story unfolds. She's spirited, even with amnesia, and her transformation was enjoyable to read about. At the end of the novel, she confronts her past, which she had cast in this rosy glow. As it turns out, her old life before the accident wasn't great, and it takes the action-packed events in this novel to prove that to her. This makes her grow, and turns her into a compelling character.
I had a problem with the hero, Grant Morgan, because of how roughly he treats the heroine. He thinks she's a courtesan (but we all obviously know she isn't). As much as I enjoy reading about heroes who can't help but be attracted to the heroine, I draw the line at not being able to keep it in their pants when they're near the heroine. That's a control problem, and I like my heroes with some self-control. I like sexy tension that nearly explodes when their hands touch. However, that was missing from this book in favor of the hero's impulsivity. To be honest, he came off manipulative and douche-y. Not romantic.
Overall, I like my romances action-packed and with a dash of adventure. I got exactly that in this book, so I'm satisfied. If you prefer slower, angsty reads, this isn't for you. For anyone else who also likes exciting romances (like me), I recommend this to you. It's a lot of fun and classic Kleypas! ( )
