Let's start by saying I too adored Patrick from the Eden series, so was very excited that he got his own story.  However, I have to say I was a little disappointed in this book.  Let me explain why.  Part of the reason I adored Patrick was because of the banter he had with his brothers, but since his brothers where basically missing from this book a lot Patricks charm and sarcasm was also missing.  You still do get a fair bit of it in relation to his budding romance with Emma, but it's not enough for my liking.  Emma is another reason I was at times disappointed with Patrick in this book.  I thought it was obvious what was happening to her away from Patrick (don't want to tell you what just in case you don't guess), and Patrick being world wise and so forth, I think should have been smart enough to have worked this out himself.  I did generally like Emma, and thought that she was well written and I could understand why Patrick fell for her.  I even understood why she kept secrets and so forth. But again I felt her brothers should have also known what was going on, given their life experiences.  For me everyone not addressing this issue was frustrating.  However, I do really want to know how this story ends in the second (and final) book.  For all the above reasons this book was hard for me to rate. I really wanted to give it more than 3 stars, but it is not a four star book.Will I read it again? NoWould I recommend it?  For fans of the Eden Series, yes.
