It was an ok read as far as romance novels go. The supernatural stuff just wasn't enough to HOOK me. It has a lovely ending though.
I particularly liked the "trifle with me" scenes....from page 251 - "Och, sweet Verity, let me trifle with ye. I can bring ye undreamed-of pleasure yet leave ye a maiden still." :-)
