3.25/5 

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. 

Gemma is not a likeable heroine. She is shallow and vapid. It makes it so difficult to be compassionate towards her and everything she goes through.

There was not one moment in this book where I trusted Talan. Even once we knew the truth of his past, I still was wary of him.

The romance between Gemma and Talan seemed flat. It was completely based on physical attraction instead of any deeper connection. 
I really wanted to like this book. The plot was interesting and the writing was beautiful but the characters just didn't hold up. The book was also entirely longer than it needed to be.
