Summary:
Madeleine Sutter was once the belle of the ball at the popular resort town of Misty Lake, New York. But as the sole survivor of the community's worst tragedy, she's come under suspicion. Longing for the life she once enjoyed, she accepts a rare social invitation to the event of the season. Now she will be able to show everyone she's the same woman they'd always admired--with just one hidden exception: she awoke from the accident with the ability to heal.
Doctor Jace Merrick has fled the failures and futility of city life to start anew in rural Misty Lake. A man of science, he rejects the superstitious chatter surrounding Maddie and finds himself drawn to her confidence and beauty. And when she seduces him into a sham engagement, he agrees to be her ticket back into society, if she supports his new practice--and reveals the details of her remarkable recovery. But when his patients begin to heal miraculously, Jace may have to abandon logic, accept the inexplicable--and surrender to a love beyond reason . . .
My Thoughts:
I absolutely loved this book. I quite literally could not put it down. I finished it in a few hours after I started it.
Maddie is like that likable outcast character that I have seen in a few other books I've read, yet is still an awesomely strong character. She was originally loved by everyone, but after an accident in which some of her friends died, she was blamed despite her having nothing to do with their deaths.
Jace is a likable guy who likes her despite the gossip and hatred from the townspeople. The only problem I had with him was that he refused to admit his love for her, making her nearly leave the town without him. He's such an idiot sometimes.
I loved how well the characters in this book were developed, making me enjoy the book even more.
I definitely recommend giving this book a read.
My Rating: 5 stars
