I want to start by saying that I, in no way, enjoy giving a negative review and even though I believe this book had a huge potential, it missed the mark.I liked the premise of the story but it could have been so much more. It moved much too slowly for me and I feel all could have been said in 225-250 pages instead of 316.I didn't care for how the chapters flipped flopped around. It caused some mild confusion and wasn't the easiest to understand or follow. I so tried not to skip certain chapters. It felt as though most of the information was not really pertinent and the repetition became...well repetitious, boring (I am referring to the background info). I feel all the background information could have been covered in two chapters, one about his family and what happened and the second, the story of why Cal was being hunted. That would have made it informative, concise, and to the point instead of dragging out uninteresting info on the background of the scoundrels.The characters had such potential but it never materialized. There was too much distance between the H/h.Did not care for Rachel's temperament and hardheadedness. Cal, well, he acted way too much as though he could care less and his crudeness never seemed to waiver . I wish there would have been more softening from them both, at least toward the end.Give the book a try. There have been many good reviews. My review is probably more about my tastes, likes and dislikes, in the books I read.
