After reading Bride Finder and Night Drifter and a few of her Harliquin books I was very disappointed in Winterbourne. It started out good, but then halfway through it lost something. I found I didn't even care about the characters anymore and really just skimmed through to the end. But this was an earlier book and maybe if I hadn't read Brider Finder and Night Drifter first I would have enjoyed this one more. Please don't pass up this fantastic author because of Winterbourne. Brider Finder and Night Drifter were 5 Star books in my opinion and I am eagerly waiting for her next book. This one, however, I would say pass on it.
