I had a lot of trouble getting into this book.  I was about 40% in before I started to get interested.  Prior to that, I'd been skimming and having to reread paragraphs quite often.  My first issue was with whatever Paul's abilities were.....that's just it.  It was very unclear to me exactly what he could do or how.  I'm not into that kinda woo-woo stuff to start with, plus, he was so unlikable at first with his whole pity party attitude.  Why he agreed to come back and help Jill was never really explained, other than redemption for something in the past that was eluded to, but never made clear.  And the premise of a whole town being in on a secret like this?  Really??  In my experience, most people can't keep secrets to start with, much less one of this magnitude.  There were too many unbelievable coincidences (that weren't really coincidences after all) and just majorly unrealistic events in the last couple of chapters.  Finally, the romance.  I like more romance in my romantic suspense.  In addition to the fact that there was very little at all, what there was, was bizarre and almost uncomfortable.  Their relationship didn't work for me the way it was written.  And let's not even talk about the first and only time they had sex.  What was up with that?? I just didn't care for this book on so many levels, so I wouldn't recommend it unless it was offered free.
