I loved the sound of this book so I jumped at the chance to take part in the book tour.  Once I had started reading I quickly realised that the author's writing had a way of pulling me in and before I knew it I was hooked!  I simply couldn't stop reading in my quest to find out how Sophie and Adam's story would end, I read the book in less than a day.The night of the party was intriguing because I wasn't given all the answers straight away, events of that night were gradually revealed throughout the book and this was something I loved because it kept me flipping the pages.  When the full sequence of events were finally revealed I felt relieved and a bit surprised too as there was a couple of things that I hadn't been expecting.When Adam returned to the village ten years later I couldn't wait to find out how Sophie and Adam would handle seeing each other again, I really got a kind of Romeo and Juliet vibe from it with the whole families at war thing.  Forbidden love always holds a certain appeal to me when I'm reading so this was an exciting part of the book!The characters were all likeable and I found something in each of them that I could relate to, even the womanizing actor Harry who seemed to show a caring side now and then (this was a side of him that I wasn't expecting when he first arrived in the story).  Sophie's feelings for Adam were very strong and as the reader I could almost feel her desire for him leaping out of the page at me.A few times I found myself laughing out loud at something and this gave the book a light feel to it, particularly when all the drama was unfolding.  One of the biggest dramatic shocks came near the end, an announcement was made that came completely out of the blue!  Speaking of the end, I really loved the epilogue - it meant that I finished the book with a smile on my face.This was an unputdownable and charming read, I definitely want to read more from this author.
