I'm a little nervous about how I'll take her in the beginning, because I can see her behavior bugging me as much as it did you. However, I'm glad that we're able to see cracks in her and that we find more depth and healing for her. I'm worried about the fact that we don't get to know Jackson well, but I keep hearing good things about him (hello swoon!), so I'm eager to meet him. I also see that he has a novella after this? I was worried at first that it's a full length book, because I don't like contemporaries that carry into multiple full length novels. Too much drama! But it sounds like it might be a benefit to get more about this guy. I'm rambling now, but you've reminded me about how much I like Cormack's writing and that I need to pick up her other books!Lauren @ Love is not a trianglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388832613855107816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-85888118700230841672013-10-14T22:43:39.982-04:002013-10-14T22:43:39.982-04:00I still haven't read this series, or this auth...I still haven't read this series, or this author but I remember hearing lots of good things!

I would have definitely given up on her very quickly. She definitely seems to be a love/hate character. I'm so glad the character changed and you really enjoyed the book. <br /><br />p.s. You can most definitely skip River Marked and jump to Frost Burned. River Marked does cover some interesting aspects of the coyote but the story is a drag. I think it would have worked much better as a novella.
