4 1/2 stars !! I really loved this book !! and I really like Ember she was a great heroine, usually heroine's in books annoy me b/c they dont understand the hero or behave like complete bitches but Ember was everything a great heroine needs. She was strong yet gentle and just amazing. And wow what to say about Trace ?? All i can say is that like Ember i fell in love with him totally, completely, hopelessly !! :)
