Honestly, I loved this book, and I've read it time and again. The characters are well formed and the progression of their love-hate relationship is magnificently told. I did think that Brenna's stubborness was a little over-the-top in the beginning, but I loved the book once she started thinking with her heart instead of that fiery mouth of hers.
