`Love's Lightning: Love at First Sight' was one of those books that made me squirm the whole time I was reading it.  I wanted the protagonist, Lani, to push Connor away at first, since a relationship with him would devastate poor Rick, her fiancé.  But at the same time I loved the idea that Connor could be her soul mate, it was such a romantic notion.While I certainly don't condone infidelity in a relationship, I did start to want Connor and Lani to get together.  They just seemed right for each other in a way that Lani and Rick did not.  From the very first encounter, they sizzled in a way that the engaged couple didn't, and it seemed inevitable that they would end up together.  The concept of the `twin flame' added to the belief that these two were made for each other.The love scenes were steamy and the guys were hot, so this was also a hot little book to read.  Not all romance and drama, Ross keeps us engaged with a good bit of between the sheets action as well.  Her books are renowned for their sexiness, and I have yet to read one that wasn't HOT in some way.I didn't care for the lead character Lani's refreshments that she offered when she met Connor. I thought she'd been drinking something harder when she saw him from the way she reacted.  I also thought her not showing Rick her wedding dress was too old fashioned for the story.There were plenty of tense moments during the story that left me wondering what Lani would do and who she would choose.  She seemed like the type of girl that never walks away from a commitment but her heart was obviously torn between the two men.  I felt for her...Connor seemed dreamy but Rick seemed reliable and practical.  We all know how dreamy works out, and it's not always the way we hope.  Still, I couldn't help but want her to choose Connor since he was so gorgeous and glamorous.  I felt bad for Rick, just a regular guy that couldn't compete with his friend's sex appeal.This story is not a new idea, but it was written in a fresh way that is relevant to today's times.  A lot of women rush into marriage before determining if it is what they really want just because it seems like the right thing to do.  Nobody waits for their soul mate anymore, and the result is a high divorce rate and a lot of unhappy people.  I say wait for the right guy, make sure the love is real, and then go for it.  It will be better that way!
