    I haven't read a book like this in a while, with romance being my usual. I'm always glad whenever my mood brings me to outside of the romance genre because when I pick a non-romance book (be it thrillers, horror, or the like), I tend to be very picky because I don't usually read these. As a result, whatever I chose tends to be really good reads. And I'm glad that for this book, it is the same.

    Really enjoyed how the story ran. It wasn't fast paced, so you don't feel like you got rushed through the story. It wasn't slow, so it kept me engaged. It hasn't happened in a while, but I finished this book within 24 hours easy because it was just that interesting to keep at it. No heavy parts (for me anyway) that I had to step away from to breathe. I could read it, start to the end, without much pause. Seeing how I usually do that for romances, this was a really nice change.

    The story developed so interestingly, you don't actually know what the actual story for each character is until the end end, even as they develop their story well.

    The only plot hole that I might have stumbled is when that bit with the candlelabra happened. Still do not understand. But that's the only reason I would find this story a little confusing, but definitely far from being a deal breaker.

    Give it a try. One of the memorable stories in my opinion.
