I am an avid romance reader and split my time between Ms. Devereaux and Nora Roberts. Having just finished this book and "Always" - second in the Darci Montgomery saga - I must say I am very disappointed. The he said/she said and overlapping of events were just a bore. I have always looked forward to reading her books in the past and honestly, with the exception of "The Summerhouse", from "An Angel For Emily" on down have been quite disappointing. How I yearn for the days of "Eternity", Knight in Shining Armour", and "Sweet Liar".
