Recently I
had the opportunity to read the first book in this series, Rosa's Land. While it wasn't my favorite book, I wanted to
give the series another chance.
Waco is a
criminal. He has been betrayed by the
woman he loved and his best friend.
While he is off to war, they run off together and take everything he
had. Bitter by the treatment, he ends up
on the wrong path and eventually in jail.
Sabrina is a
spoiled young woman who feels that she is in control of everything. When her sister starts to show interest in a
man the family disapproves of, Sabrina puts off dealing with it until it's too
late. Now her sister is gone and Sabrina
will do whatever it takes to get her sister back, even if it means teaming up
with a criminal like Waco.
I found that
this book followed the formula of the first book. We learn about the back story of the
characters long before they meet. In
this book, Waco and Sabrina don't even meet until after halfway through. To me, this makes the book a little too
unbalanced for me and it almost feels like two stories that happen to come
together later on.
I wanted to
like this book, I really did. Even after
being prepared ahead of time that the story might be similar to the first book,
I was somewhat disappointed. In the end,
this series just isn't for me and I'm sorry for it. This book can be read as a standalone. The third book in this series, Raina's
Choice, is due out June 2014.
I received a
copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an
honest review.
