I am so glad I found Linda Jones! I have read several of her stories and have enjoyed them all. This is one of the best so far, with a slightly darker storyline than some of her others. Benjamin Wolfe is a devoted son who lives to destroy the family of the man who ruined Ben's father. The unfairness of his crusade (it's not the daughters fault that their father hurt Ben's) made my heart ache, but at the same time I could relate to wanting avenge a beloved parent at any cost. But he falls in love with the object of his plan, Celia, even as he can't help but ruin her bit by bit. And she falls in love with him, even as he does this. Jones makes it very believable that these two enemies could still care about one another so much. And though I could not see how these two warring lovers could work it all out in a realistic way, Jones made it happen. Give this absorbing, disturbing, delightful fairy tale a try. I think you'll be as captured as I was!
