review 1: OKAY WOW...been awhile since I read a non-paranormal book with such an alpha male. I was melting every time Jake came onto the page. His past was so tragic, his adoptive brothers and adoptive dad was a touching part of the story, his building love of Isabelle and how it tore at him to go so slow and protect her, even from herself and sometimes from himself.This book had several incrediable little twists.Isabelle isn't my favorite heroine, but I did like her especially with everything she was dealing with
review 2: 2.5 though the overall rating gives me the hivesI did not care much for the style and the way the book was written. Too familiar for my taste, as even the description are written as if it were spoken dialogues between uneducated or rude guys.Let's go ... morethen to the characters: they remained characters to my eyes from the beginning til the end (along the second book as well, and I do not have any hope regarding the third on that topic). Their characters do not individually seem real and the whole bunch of them taken together is just way too much. I kept rolling my eyes at each new discovery of the evil and tragedy the characters main and secondary have already gone through. There were however some good moments when Jake started to open to Isabelle and when Isabelle stopped lying to herself and realizing what had really happened that she did not want to remember. Those were too transcient to make it very good. The suspense was also rather good by moments but there were too many other things intermingled for it to be great.I was expecting much better regarding the rating; the Hunted trilogy by Elle Kennedy, though shorter, was in my opinion much better with quite a few similarities, including the fact this trilogy has indeed to be read together. less
