When it takes me five days to finish a romance novel, it's not a good sign. I kept finding excuses not to pick it back up but I finally managed to finish it.

I've really loved other books by this author (especially her novellas) but this one didn't work for me. Too many side characters, story lines and confusing lineages. The romance between Jane and Oliver feels short-changed. Just when some good tension starts to build the two, the scene switches to Jane's sister and her tepid secondary romance or Oliver's sister Free and poof... the story bogs down and I had to force myself to keep reading in hopes that Oliver and Jane would reappear soon.
