Don't bother
So boring I could barely tolerate it and I had to stop reading it. It was that boring. I guess I am not for this author. Don't understand all the positive reviews. I have read hundreds of romance novels, probably way more than that and I feel I can be a good judge. There are such great writers out there today. Elizabeth Hoyt, Sophie Jordan, Tessa Dare, Liz Carlyle, Lisa Klyepas, Carolyn Jewel, and Gaelen Foley, just to name a few of the greats. Try them. This was awful.

Okay but certainly not the best I've read
A bit too much going on with the heroine and the plot in general. A bit drawn out at times and too descriptive with internal thoughts of hero etc. Hero was not very likable pretty much throughout the entire book. Love scenes were few and very long in between. I have read two now by this author and would read again so I guess that's a good sign. She's okay but certainly no Elizabeth Hoyt. I like Eloisa James better if anything, out of newer authors I am reading.
Swarovski Dot Pierced Earrings - 5158581

A little short on the ear
The color is the best part of these earrings. Not as nice in my opinion as the classic Bella earrings. The Bella crystals are slightly larger and more pronounced on the ear. These are probably more elegant than the Bella because of the addition of the rhinestones or white crystals but they are sort of short. I also don't care for the long back. You have to have a safety stop on earrings like this or they are classics to get lost as they come right out of the ear. I wouldn't buy another pair.
