The Cover: The cover is hot and caught my attention!The Characters: Kate - She is strong, rebellious (but not in a bad way) and so very curious. I liked her character and her drive and passion for life.Ben - Is dark, sexy and mysterious. He is a gentleman and kindhearted but has an edge to him.Jane - I thought she was a little old fashioned but she was ok and came about as the story progressed. I wondered how her and Kate were still compatible considering just how different they truly are.The Story Line: I really liked the story line. It was the same ole "hot guy with a dark past meets girl" but it was different.The Ending: I liked the ending and look forward to the next book. It tied up lose ends but not all of them....When I started this book I wasn't sure what to expect since it seemed to contain so much by the description, yet the book was so short.It starts off with a bang. You get to know a little about the 2 girls and then the handsome stranger arrives. You don't have to read through pages and pages of back history before the story even starts. I love the way the author describes the surroundings. It truly made me feel like I was in the town and inside the mansion/house. It was amazing the connection she helped me form.As you read you learn a little more bit by bit about the history of the town, the people and Ben. You know and can feel that he has a past and a dark secret that is tied to the town or people or the house or even the Grandmother, yet you don't know what it is and really want to find out. I enjoyed the way his story came out and how it was dealt with. It was a twist and I did't see that coming.I love the way Gran seemed to warm up towards the end but not too much. Just enough to not ruin her character but show she has a heart. Nothing seemed rushed in this short book and it was well written.I really enjoyed this book and didn't want to put it down. It wasn't a super huge suspenseful novel but it did the trick and was a fast little read. There were some nice love scenes, not your hot sexual erotic ones but nice and simple.I would recommend this book to anyone that likes a little romance mixed with intrigue and mystery. I know it won't meet everyone's taste but I really enjoyed it.
