I literally just started reading this book yesterday (12/2/2013). The synopsis definitely got my attention and I am curious as to how this book plays out.*Prologue 2/5 starsIf it weren't for the synopsis, I wouldn't have continued reading past page 2 of the prologue. The prologue isn't all that long but it does go ON & ON & ON & ON & ON & ON & ON & ON okay you get the point. The character Hunter is most certainly what you would call a bored person, which of course was aforementioned in the synopsis. Despite the boredom that is portrayed up to chapter one, all I am able to think is man stop the damn pity-me-party! It gets old very quickly in real life as well as in literature.....* Story Line 4/5 starsAs the story begins once again I am skeptical about finishing this book. To my absolute surprise it does not take long for the drama/action to kick in. The plus side the immediate action drew me in and I literally could not put the book down until I was finished with the story. The down side, there seemed to be too much action and drama going on. I like a little drama in my romance books but this story line seemed to be more of a mystery. However, it did not take me long to figure out who done what. Hunter is a character that just got on my nerves quite often because he still seemed to be doing a pity-me kind of thoughts, but as the story continues he does something quite selfless in order to try to get things all figured out. He was willing to walk away from the person he loved in order to protect her as best as he could. I am absolutely elated when Elizabeth and Hunter were able to work together to put an end to a threat that affected the both of them. There was a surprise with one of the villains that I did not take into account. I felt like I was getting some form of mental exhaustion and whiplash from all the drama taking place. Once who done what was played out the ending seemed to come to a quick ending. The storyline took forever to pan out and the the ending occurred so fast I didn't even know what to think or feel. After sleeping on thoughts of this story, I was quite happy with the overall story. I was drawn into the story, the characters felt human and not some ridiculous portrayal of being impervious to the people and emotions around the characters, there was no cliff hanger to the story.Not a book I feel like I have to reread in a couple months but I might eventually re-read it again.
