Review: Great character development

I really enjoyed watching the character development in this book. Both of the main characters are forced by internal or external pressures to reconsider the way they've been living their lives, and each one winds up making some fairly drastic changes based on the new information they have been given or have woken up to. It was fun to watch these two characters grow and change and to observe how these changes draw them closer together. So many novels in the romance category seem to place heavy emphasis on the physical attraction, and it was a delight to find one that focused more on the growing relationship instead. (Not that the physical attraction didn't exist in this book, it just wasn't the driving force behind the relationship.)It was also fun to read about the environmental issues involved, learn about a job I didn't know existed (land researcher), and consider the effects of choosing to live a life completely outside of conventions as Lyssa's parents have chosen to do. The highlight for me, though, was getting to know these characters and watching them develop over the course of the story. Great read!I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it.
