I enjoyed the book...in many ways...first, it was a simple read...second, I like the character Cora a lot...she is strong willed knowing that she wants to live, and do everything possible to survive the illness she has...cancer...third, I loved the concept of the plot...and wondered if I would be soooo willing to say yes to a man, whose bond with me both confuses me...and causes a fire within my soul...hmmmm 
 BUT, and yes there is always a but...I wanted more...I wanted to know more about Cora...more about Mr. Thorne...and maybe that will come out in the second part of the book, which I am now reading, because I want to know what happens...especially after she said "yes" to the treatment... 
 So this is a good book, but I really wanted a bit more being the first part of the series...
