Review: Um ... did I black out for parts of the book?
Rating: 3 out of 5

This was a tried-and-true storyline that has been repeated over and over again, mostly in Harlequin-type romance novels.  Alpha male meets girl, situation requires that she is indebted to him, and while they can't stand each other to begin with, they end up falling in love and living happily ever after.  *Sigh*  If well-written, it can be an interesting read.  This book had a lot of potential, but honestly, I felt that I was reading excerpts of the book at times.  Some parts included too many details, while others skipped over aspects of the storyline that I felt would have been interesting had they been included.  For instance, I have no clue why Natalie fell in love with Marco.  She questions his trust in her, he rarely talks to her, but - bam! - she has feelings for him.  Why?  To me, she was a difficult character to like, whereas Marco was just creepy and weird at times.  Don't get me wrong - I am all about a good alpha male, but not when they are borderline psychos and all they have going for them is an intense stare.It's an OK read, but doesn't deliver the satisfaction that others books with similar storylines can provide.
