It was what I expected, but I'm still mad. You can bet I'll be thinking about that when Coutts' next book comes out. <br /><br />Also, I wasn't really a fan of Zan's story. While I admire the author for taking an unconventional route with her plot, the message kind of disturbed me. Whether or not Leo was you-know-what, Zan's refusal to move on was unhealthy.Rubitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929614007516530129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-87268723382295354692013-08-20T01:23:02.305-07:002013-08-20T01:23:02.305-07:00I have to agree with you– the cover looks really p...I have to agree with you– the cover looks really promising, but sorry it wasn't as good as you expected!
