Kendall and Tristan were such a like able couple, one I found myself rooting for throughout the entire book.  This is a story about two people who are inexplicably drawn to one another.  From their first touch it's as if Tristan's soul spoke to Kendall's on a level no on had ever before or since.  She has silently been in love with him for years, so when he comes back into her life out of the blue she is both surprised and nervous.  Surprise turns into hopefulness as he per sues her.  The more time they spend together the more Kendall realizes the real Tristan is far more perfect in reality than it had been in her dreams.  But will they be able to survive the secrets of her past and the dangers of her present?I enjoyed this story and definitely saw the chemistry between Tristan and Kendall.  It was a sweet story, but one that I felt was somewhat rushed.  I would have loved to of seen Tristan spend more time wooing Kendall, to have seen a slower development of their relationship.  It felt like they got together and fell in love super fast and only enjoyed each other a day or two before waves rocked their new relationship.  While I understood the actions of each, I thought Tristan should have fought harder, not given up so easily, not taken so long to finally spring into action.  On the other hand I viewed Kendall as a strong woman, one who had survived some serious hardships, yet found it hard to believe she was so easily manipulated.  While I knew this couple were meant to be together and eventually would, I wasn't as emotionally vested in them as I typically like to be when reading a book.  For me I think it's just because the story happened and was over too quickly.Their HEA was very sweet and you are left wondering the fate of the next book's character's.  While it was a quick for me I definitely enjoyed it.  If you are already an Elizabeth James fan I'm sure you're going to love this book as well.
