Review: Interesting plot twist, entertaining read

This is another romance with a tinge of the gothic.  The story begins on one set of assumptions and ends on the opposite.  What downgraded the rating for me was the heroine's up and down (often down) moodiness, and the hero's attraction to her tragic past--his wish to rescue her.  She has no wish to be rescued, even if she does love the hero. Her fits of temper impede the ultimate understanding achieved by everyone and though I suppose the delays and conflict are meant to sharpen the reader's anticipation of the ending, I found it tiresome after a while. Still, this was not a bad story and worth the price, if only to see how the author turns the tables on our expectations.
