Dodie's Review Peyton is the perfect dream male. He meets all the physical requirements: tall, handsome, built, exotic. He meets all the emotional requirements as well. He's loyal to his family, makes lasting commitments, self sufficient. Avantae is a beautiful, creative, strong woman. She's a perfect fit for Peyton. So what's the problem? She's Peyton's brother's girlfriend. Avantae is in an enjoyable relationship with Cameron, but she feels like she's missing something, or someone. She has flashes of an earlier life, and earlier love, and Cameron isn't the right person for her. Peyton is convinced that the woman with Cameron is too old for him, and must be taking advantage of him. The longer he's around Avantae he begins to have flashes of his earlier life, much to his chagrin, with her. Peyton that and Avantae were in a strong relationship in a previous life, but that relationship ended horribly, and they've spent centuries trying to find each other again.
Most of this book really worked for me. I enjoyed the way Marilyn Lee had Avantae and Peyton remember their previous life together. I enjoyed Peyton's commitment to his family, and their dedication to fixing any emotional difficulties with Cameron, so that their family can be strong in the end. I enjoyed the fact that while I had not read the other two books in this series that did not take away from this one. In fact, it made me want to read the others. I did not enjoy some of the choices that Marilyn Lee made at the end with the revelations of their previous life; however, my disagreement with the ending did not keep me from enjoying the story as a whole. You can't please all the people all the time, right? Even though I didn't like it, it was well written, engaging, and I can understand why the author made the decisions she did. Read the story, and let me know what you thought of the ending.
I like how she describe her past life with her present. also how she has strong will for the man she love. I don't want to be off topic but i feel the next novel should be about brandon why because as you'll know if you read the last two novel what happen to brandon's life and sheenea .
I enjoyed getting to know the GrayHawk family. However, there were a few things that bug me about this story. The family "value" or "code" concept was beaten to death. The banter about it just got annoying to the point that I scrolled passed it. It obviously didn't mattered too much because Peyton had every intention of sleeping with her rather she was "the one" or a cougar.And he isn't the only one in the family to break it. Also, it seems like in her stories sex ultimately equals love. We really never see the characters develop a real relationship other than graphic sexual scenes. It's almost as if once they have sex, they're in love. The love just wasn't believable. It you want it to be a purely smut book then let it. Lastly, I had trouble liking Avantae. Although she "ended" things with Cam, she was still lying naked in HIS bed when she decided to sleep with another man. She just seemed sleazy. Then to top it all off, she was not understanding by the fact that Peyton wanted to make things right before continuing a relationship. Her character just wasn't likable. Tempest was much better heroine.
