" That was one of the most frustrating books I've read in a while. These two broken characters were both burned by people in their past...both extremely prideful and stubborn. Yet there was no denying how passionate they are with each other, how much chemistry they have. There was such an aching need each had for the other. I thought they had so much potential in the beginning. Then the misunderstandings and assumptions continued to come up. The conflicts were repetitive, an endless cycle that made shake my head in disbelief. He could never trust and she could never give in. I could not understand why they couldn't work everything out soon (I guess I wouldn't have a book to read if that happened huh?). When the going got really tough everything was too little, too late...especially with the hero. The last section of this book was intense and emotional, so much so that I shed some tears (I agree with others that the heroine's emptiness is reminiscent of Linda Howard's Cry No More). They brought each other a great amount of pain and hurt that it's a little hard the believe that they could make it, that they could get pass everything. It's really difficult to rate this one, I feel so up in the air about it. 2.5 stars, I suppose. "
