REVIEWED BY LIZI was surprised at how much I liked Ariel. This isn't the usual heroine that I find myself raving about. She makes some really bad decisions, but when she makes a mistake, she owns up to it and apologizes or goes about trying to fix it. Sure, she may not be a perfect, ideal heroine, but I think she's a very realistic character whose heart and true character shows through in her honesty and in how she handles herself with other people.Then there's Colin. The way he treats Ariel at first made it really difficult for me to warm up to him. He was very curt with her and a little harsh! But the more I learned about Colin's past, the more I understood and liked him. He hasn't had an easy time the last few years, what with being associated with his fiancée's murder. I was on the edge of my seat to find out if he had a hand in her death or not! Being a celebrity musician made things even worse for him. I normally don't have a lot of sympathy for the rich and famous, but as I read more of his point of view, the more he seemed like he was a good person who was the victim of rumors and lies. Not only is Colin a supremely talented musician, he is also one sexy beast, so there were times when I was less concerned about Colin's history and more concerned with what naughty thing he was going to do to Ariel next!I found myself really sucked in to this book. I was worried about Ariel; I was worried about the truth of Colin's involvement in the death of his fiancée; I was even suspecting some of Colin's friends of having ulterior motives. I swear, I was seeing conspiracies around every corner! And this isn't even a thriller or a suspense! It was definitely chock-full of Sexy Time, no doubt about it. ARIEL'S SONG is a very, very hot book and I had a lot of fun reading it.BOTTOM LINE:I really liked ARIEL'S SONG. I think this would be a good book for anyone who likes a high heat level in romance novels. It was fun to dislike the hero at first and then to warm up to him slowly, so I think that readers who like a complicated and twisty-turny path to romance will also enjoy this.RATING: A- (4 stars)Note: I received a review copy of this title courtesy of the author in exchange for an honest review.
