Swans Book Review

This book was interesting.  One way of looking at it is that it piggy-back off the previous book in the series, which is Rainshadow Road.  Or that it ran parallel with the book, either way, it was okay but not great. Alex Nolan had it rough as a kid.  His siblings have already left the house and it left only him to take the brunt of his parents anger at home.  Growing up in this environment has thought him not to rely on anyone, it also has him bitter and cynical.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I went into the Library, looking for some Nora Roberts books, and I turned around and what did I see, Rainshadow Road by Lisa Kleypas. I rushed to the counter, borrowed my book and was happy for two days which was how long it took me to finish the book (sad face). Lucy Marinn, a glass maker with a secret wonderful power, got her heart broken by her boyfriend when he left her for someone else.   Her broken heart was then shattered into a million pieces when he told her he was leaving her for her younger sister, and that they are engaged, which he was not able to do with her. Her heart was then put in a safe and locked away, never to be abused again, but also not able to love.  Lucy's parents was outraged by what her sister has done and refused to fund their marriage until they made things right with Lucy. Her ex-boyfriend, had the ridiculously stupid idea of asking an acquaintance to act as her boyfriend, you know, to "help" her ...
