I went into this book with pretty high expectations.  This isn't the first book I've read by Sharon Page and honestly, that's a good thing because if it had been I most likely wouldn't read any more.  I had to force myself to finish, which is really unusual for me.  The writing was very hard to stay with because it was so choppy and stunted.  It's hard to put into words, there was just no flow in the writing.  From sentence to sentence and paragraph to paragraph it just didn't flow together into one cohesive piece of work.  The female lead was hard to like, she was so one dimensional and immature.  The idea that she was a single working mother should have been able to evoke some feelings for her but her attitude and behavior just negated any positives.  The men were just as bad.  There was just no depth to grasp on to.  The only bright point in the book started around 76 or 78 percent but only lasted for short time.  The suspense should have had me at the edge of my seat, it was a good story line, it just wasn't well developed or put together.  I did enjoy that The Master of the Island had a bit of a bigger roll in this one, he was the most intriguing character in the book and the one that evoked feelings.I also have to note that this installment of the Invitation to Eden books should be read before the Suzanne Rock Hydrotherapy book even though it appears from the website that it should follow because there are characters in this one that had things occur in the other that would prevent them being in a book that was following so that was really annoying as well.Overall I have to say, if this had been my introduction to Sharon Page's writing it would have also been the conclusion.
