This was pretty cute. I'm a big Jillian Hunter fan... sometimes. She's really hit and miss. I thought the first two Boscastle books (Grayson and Chloe's books) were phenomenal - great plots, fun characters, and just super enjoyable. I liked Drake's book because I love a good broody hero, and I loved Eloise. But a lot of the others I either liked despite some really obvious failings, or I didn't really enjoy them at all. This one fell somewhere in the middle. What I enjoyed most about this book was the characters (always my favorite part of a romance if they're done well) - I thought Cat and Knight had great chemistry. He was so grumpy and teasing with her, and she got his sense of humor (after a while) and teased him right back. They were definitely a couple I could see falling in love, which is my favorite thing. But the plot was a mess. So many weird supernatural things that didn't make sense. I don't mind supernatural stuff - if you want her to be prophetic or read minds or heal with her hands, I'm with ya. But there was so much buildup about her mysterious past (which was actually not very mysterious or much of a secret) and her weird uncle and the guy she was supposed to love... and then nothing ever came of it! They eloped for basically no reason (they had permission for Pete's sake) and the whole drama on the moors while they were driving to Scotland was unnecessary. And then even the climax - and there were two, oddly, meeting her brother and then the weird scene with the stone in the well - was melodramatic with no payoff. I enjoyed this book for the simple fact that the characters were well-written with great chemistry, and I liked the supporting characters as well as the hero and heroine. But the plot was all over the place and disappointingly so - I just kept wondering what was happening, what we were building toward... and then a chapter from the end I realized: nothing. We were building toward nothing. But I will say that the relationship between Knight and Cat was worth the shaky plot - if the plot had been better this book would definitely have been a five star for me.
