DNF 60%. Looks like I'm in the minority here... This book wasn't for me. I've only read one other book by Katy Regnery in this series and I loved it. This one, however, was a miss. 
 I am a big fan of "years later" romances. You know, those where the main characters get separated while children/teens and meet again when they are adults. This premise was one of the main reasons I picked this book up. 
 My main problem was the pace of the story and the length of the book. I am NOT a patient reader. By the time I got to the middle of the novel I've felt like I've already read a full length book. I didn't really understand why half the book needed to be spent on the "before." I got exhausted and lost interest. If you don't mind slow paced books then you might enjoy it.
