I love a good, steamy romance that has a great story to go with it.  Add in some drama, realistic emotional issues or personal trauma, and I'm usually a very happy reader.  With Some Enchanted Season, the two main characters: Rusty & Kevyn have absolutely nothing in common, or so they think.  Once they get to know each other, the find they do have some common ground - being bullied as children for being different.  And their struggle to find normalcy in a world that they do not think can accept them for who they really are.I love the characters - Rusty (Sergei) and Kevyn.  I love how they each had struggles from their childhood to deal with, their memories of being bullied as youngsters; and how Kevyn fought for a normal life while struggling with a severe form of dyslexia.  These are unique issues that I have not before come across in the romance novels I've read.  I applaud author Particia Burroughs for taking the reader on a more personal journey with both Rusty and Kevyn.I think the book was more interesting to me than just a basic romance, it has a great message of overcoming the hurts of the past and making a decision to have a better future. I think their uncertainty with their new relationship, and their possible future together, made this book more intriguing and kept my interest til the end.  The emotional swings kept and the determination they both have to succeed in spite of what others have said endeared them to me from the beginning.One minor issue I had with this book, being a reviewer I pay closer attention to writing styles, grammar, punctuation and such - and to find a single word consistenly mispelled, really bugs me.  I thought it was just due to being downloaded to my kindle, so I tried reading it on my PC - same word mispelled through most of the book.  In only 1 place was that word spelled correctly.  Now, I do NOT hold this against the author - I feel it is the editor/publisher's duty to make sure the story is complete before putting it out for purchase - I must say that reading "comer" instead of "corner" over and over took a bit away from my enjoyment of the story. Whatever the reason, it was my only irritation with this book.  The story itself is well-written and worth reading.Although I love the cover of this book, the guy does not seem like a good "Rusty" to me - doesn't look the way I pictured him.  Maybe the author should have used her character - Kevyn - to pick the front cover model for her.  Some Enchanted Season is a great romance with a few tastefully done sex scenes.  Some amazing drama and personal struggles and likeable characters.
