Review: Undated review - Not five stars after all
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 07 12, 2013
Review on July 12th:Okay, guys, you can tell from my 16 pages (over 120 books) of reviews that I take my interracial romances very, very seriously. When I came across this book, I passed it over because the cover didn't appeal to me (to all my great writers, the cover of the book is a big deal). Also, I have never read a story by this author. After finding nothing else of interest (must Pepper, Sienna, Latrivia take a break at the same time??), I went back to this book and man was I wrong!! Never judge a book by it's cover (sadly, I will continue to do so). Anyway, I am over 2/3rds into this book (yes, I'm writing a 5 star review before I complete this book - it's that good!! I fell alseep after 1:00 am last night reading this and woke up this morning with an immediate need to let you guys know what a gem you're missing out on - you're welcome!!!Anyway, I'm not one for giving a summary of books - the one provided by AMAZON is good enough; however, I will say that the summary does not do this book justice. The writing is absolutley flawless, and as the pages flew by, all I kept thinking is that this author put some serious time, attention, and research into this story. It's not one of those "perfect" romances; however, it is indeed a great romance! If you're a fan of books by Pepper Pace, this book is definitely for you. BTW - Pepper Pace is my absolute #1 IR romance writer; therefore, when I compare another writer to her, I'm not playing. Applause - applause, Ms. Cullars!!! I'm checking for you now!Review on July 13th:I finished the book, and unfortunately, I have to revise my rating (I promise to never review a book before conclusion again - sorry).  Anyway, I stand by my review above for the first 2/3 of this book; however, I hated the ending - like really hated it.  I have a HUGE pet peeve about authors leaving questions unanswered and not bringing all the important stuff to conclusion.  Sorry but I require my romance authors to not leave me hanging at the end.  Also, I didn't agree with how the hero handled things after his memory came into focus (too many ruined lives) - I don't like spoilers so I will leave it at that.  This story had such potential, but it was a big let down for me at the end.
