There is so much diversity in here, with the combination of a powerful love triangle, amnesia, danger, betrayal, violent lunacy, a psychopathic bad guy and a fascinatingly original storyline that I don’t want to say anything about for fear of throwing in a spoiler.Recently I’ve been making every effort to read a diverse selection of books and a number of the more romantic ones cast the male ‘hero’ as having eyes like deep blue pools, a body to die for, perfect skin, and a six-pack to make Zac Ephron jealous. (Actually I’ve no idea who Zac Ephron is, but he’s the first name who came up when I googled celebrity six-packs). It gets so boring.Amber and Blue, however, avoids this stereotyping altogether, doesn’t dwell or even mention Alex’s six-pack, but focuses more on his torment and the fact that he’s a thoroughly decent bloke. You can’t help but like Alex and Grace, or their friends Matt and Lydia, and this makes for a much better read.K.R. Rowe is also a very good writer, who has no doubt learned and practiced her trade. You can actually feel Alex’s anguish.The only person I’d like to know more about is the villain turned romantic, Lucien. We’re offered hints into his past, little tit-bits if you like, but that’s about all. He’s a villain who’s been a spy, yet has a decent side to him …. kind of. I’d like to read Lucien’s story.All in all, this is a bloody good read and I have no hesitation in recommending it.
