I subscribe to several newsletters that announce free or inexpensive books for my Kindle. Most of the stuff is dross, but I sift through looking for the occasional nugget. I scored the six volumes of Winston Churchill's history of WWII for $1.99 each. Every now and then I take a chance on an unknown writer. I couldn't pass by the title of this book without giving it a spot on my reading list. It's not the money so much as the time I begrudge a bad book. I've become heartless at cutting a book loose if it isn't any good. I was pleasantly surprised that this book captured and held my interest the entire time. True, I was a little foggy on the grandfather thing, but it didn't matter. What was important was that I cared about Aisling (Ash), the heroine, spunky and vulnerable, and was rooting for her to come through, not that I had any doubts. I happily answered the survey at the end of the book and signed up for notices of the sequel, which I will buy at full price. Ms Elliott has earned my respect and my money.
