Mercy Green, a two hundred year old immortal keeps her distance from people. She avoids contact with any other immortals. She leads a very lonely life. Her only contact or interaction with people happens when she’s at the Animal Shelter she volunteers at. Adam has worked his way past some of her barriers and she is putting off leaving so she can spend more time with him. She doesn’t want to leave him. She loves him and doesn’t realize it for a while.Adam, a painter is attracted to Mercy but can’t get past the fact that she’s nineteen and he’s ten years older than her. His interest in her makes him feel like a pedophile. Once he breaks up with his crazy girlfriend he decides to pursue Mercy. They deal with the craziness of his ex who stole all of his paintings and then reported it to the police when they got them back. She isn’t finished though.When Adam’s ex-girlfriend goes further than they ever imagined in her quest for revenge, Mercy blames herself. If she wouldn’t have talked him into getting the paintings back, none of this would have happened to him.There are a string of secondary characters in the book that are interesting as well. Nick had me laughing with his sense of humor. Emily seems like she will bring fun into future books and Ben is the serious one.I really liked the plot to this book. I feel that the author went into way to much description. I feel so much more could’ve happened in this book. It was very slow moving. It took over half the book for me to really get interested in it. I wish it would’ve drawn me in sooner. I like a fast pace book and this just didn’t do that for me until the last few chapters.
