For unknown reasons this book caught my attention...

When i first picked this book up i knew i wanted to read it, i cant say why because i've no idea. I dont usually do romance. But after reading the blurb again and again over a few weeks, i picked it up from the library and got it out. And i loved it. The way it was written was appealing and the story was a little different. I liked the fact that you were left guessing at things that took a little time to come out. ANd that although i thought it was going to be predictable, it oddly wasn't. I'd deffinately read it again!
