I'm still in two minds about this book as I'm not sure if I really liked it that much. I have heard such good things about this author and her reviews are always good and yet this my first read by her was just passable. I have to admit to feeling disappointed.This story is about Zara Cinders and her on off and on again relationship with Graham Reece ( Ham) . Ham s a guy who doesn't want to be tied down and happily admits to being a bit of a drifter. Zara has always known that Ham is the one for her and in order to have some kind of life with him in it accepted their times apart but gets to a point when she has to let him go. She wants a home and family and just doesn't see that in a shared future with Ham.Things don't quite work out the way Zara hopes and she finds herself single again. It's then that she finds out about Hams near death at the hands of a maniac and she can't help but reach out to him . Problem is Ham decides to pay her a visit and he realises that her life is at a low point and she needs help. Zara's a tough sort and doesn't want charitybut more importantly she doesn't want Ham to realise just how hung up on him she still is. Hams not the sort to take no for an answer though and pretty soon Zara has to believe that he could just be back for good! Life gets complicated though as Zara's past catches up and she's not sure if this time she will cope with losing Ham.This isn't a bad book but I did feel that the plot dragged at times. The two leads have a passionate relationship but it just took too long for any real action to happen. Zara's family just didn't feel realistic to me and have to admit that Hams way of speaking just didn't work for me as at times he sounded almost childish.I will try another book by this author but can't help but hope that it's more riveting then this. Well written-apart from Hams part! and I would give this a 3 and a half
