I’m never one to write synopsis in a review. Fortunately there are many others with actual talent for brief summary. Instead I try to speak to readers like myself, looking for reassurance that the story they’re purchasing will be worth the investment of money and time. If that’s you, hit “purchase” immediately! This series just gets better and better. Enjoy seeing each of the MacPhersons come alive. Some series in HR can become repetitive in both character and plot, but this one is full of equally unique, complex leads, fascinating storylines and intriguing background characters. Elisa plants seeds that sometimes don’t bear fruit for another two or three novels. I can’t get enough of those “aha!” moments. Campbell and Clarissa are two wonderful, flawed, loyal, intelligent, interesting characters. Their chemistry is …wow. “Scorching” is probably overused in these reviews but absolutely fits the heat level of this story. Each book in this series flirts more with some darker themes and paranormal subplots, which have been off- putting in HR for me in the past. But every time I place trust in EB that she’ll weave all the sadness and beauty and humor and mystery together into a deeply satisfying experience, she rewards me with something even better than the last time. Already pining for the next book!
ETA and SPOILER ALERT: the one minor quibble I have is I would have liked to have seen Campbell and Clarissas’ experiences in the FIRST dreams they shared, and/or their first time seeing each other. Would have done more to establish their relationship.
