This is definitely worth the 99c, and then some. You won't be sorry. The writing in the prologue starts off a little unpolished, but once the author gets going, the prose is smooth, and the writing, professional.Burford gets an A+ for her witty dialogue and character chemistry. Even with the dark and depressing plot elements, I laughed out loud many times. Her love scenes were well-written, too. There is a situation between the leads that creates some discomfort, but this is a romance, folks. That means you know how it's going to end. So sit back, trust the genre and enjoy the ride.Normally, I don't like plots that are kept from resolution by a character's persistence in withholding information despite repeated opportunities to spill the beans. In this book, however, it was plausible and largely warranted. In fact, the only thing that didn't ring true was the heroine's parents telling her fond stories of a place that also held a horrible memory for them. If you can get past that, though, it's a good story. I give it a solid four stars.
