Review: They Deserve Each Other
Rating: 5 out of 5

I really loved this book (previously published as Blue Haze but re-published as Mystic Mountains).  It was like Pride and Prejudice...ooops, I mean Arrogance and Obstinacy, meets the Thorn Birds in 1818 Australia.  I love realistically flawed characters--perfect romance H/h's are such bores--and both of these were so realistically flawed, the way their life experiences from their past hard-scrabble youth carried over to lead to inappropriate and sometimes foolish judgments in their present was so well developed into the plot of this book.  Now I shouldn't love it as much as I did.  There were a few things in this book that I really hated, but I can't say without spoilers, that should have made me downgrade my rating--however, any book that keeps me up to 3:30 AM to finish, because I just can't put it down, definitely rates five-stars.  This is also the kind of book that will make the next few books I read seem like they don't measure up.
