review 1: I'm not going to lie; I didn't have high hopes for this book, but it was a Bookbub deal and I was in need of something to read (in the mood for romance). I feared that it would be sickly sweet and obnoxiously predictable, but I was pleasantly surprised. Predictable? Yes. By nature, most romance novels are, but there were elements of intrigue as the characters were developed and I found myself unable to set it down.
review 2: The author ruined what might have been an enjoyable read for me by all the Jane Eyre rip-offs. I don't understand their purpose, since most of the story wasn't another Jane Eyre re-write. Possibly she meant them to be cutesy, but rip-offs aren't cutesy and don't add anything to a story, they are merely annoying and detract from the st... moreory. It would have even been better to name the protagonists Beulah and Percy and cut out all the Bronte stuff. I couldn't find one place where the rip-offs were necessary to this story, they were just forced in there to stick out like gangrenous thumbs. I upgraded my rating because there were enjoyable and original elements to this novel. Too bad the author didn't stick with her positives rather than go with her negatives. less
