I never saw it happening this way!!! Yes, there were all those wonderful, twisty incidents and decisions that led our hero and heroine to become who they are, but once they met this story veers far away from the expected. This doesn’t rely on all the tricks that tropes of mistaken identity have fallen on through the years. Instead, this is fresh and original.

My heart hurt for Jules, although I suspect her character was not created to cause the ache I felt on her behalf. I couldn’t help but feel she had been forced to live life in a manner that went against how she was born. Yet, she was fiercely independent and loved the freedom her charade provided her.

James captured my attention immediately! I wanted to know more about living in the wild with wolves. I mean, I totally understood that it was that way of life that made him into the man he was, quiet, finding food distasteful and people annoying. However, once he interacted with Jules, he found peace and I loved how he was able to sense her secret.

Jules and James are fire together! From the beginning there is an attraction that they can’t deny and they act on it pretty quickly. What a steamy lesson for Jules who has lived her life as a man! I did have to sustain belief a bit through the story and the reason for that also hindered the authenticity of the time period. Nevertheless, this was a multi-layered story that kept me enthralled from the beginning.
