I mean just the idea of these uber hot guys with these powers is cool enough. But the real interesting part is that these uber hot guys are far from perfect, they don't actually enjoy their powers, and they are prejudiced for them. I loved the reality of their situation. They're just guys. They have gifts that have ruined their lives. This is Chris's, one of the brothers, story of how it goes.<br /><br />Becca adds to the greatness. Her character is amazing. I was getting so tired of the cookie cutter YA female character leads that I was cosidering banning all books including YA Paranormal Romance. She was so refreshing, and I think her background story has a lot to do with that.Espanahttp://rantofimitation.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-55581030648409409532012-05-28T13:16:08.202+07:002012-05-28T13:16:08.202+07:00Oh, I LOVED Storm, and I'm reading this now......Oh, I LOVED Storm, and I'm reading this now... I can see I'm getting really close to the end, and I'm kind of scared it... I think we're coming into it from very different perspectives... the sudden end, well, I *know* about it from Storm, and the mechanics of the world is explained in detail in Storm (not everyone has elemental powers, but the people who DO, tend to live in communities. 'Normal' people don't know about them)... I kind of wondered how it would read without reading Storm... SO glad you still liked it!

And I don't remember, but maybe all that elemental thing felt confusing to me, too. But I greatly enjoyed the chemistry between the two of them <3<br /><br />Lovely review!

I had one of my friends explain the Elemental world in detail (with gusto!) so I already knew all the quirks before I read this, but I guess it probably <i>would've</i> been frustrating if I hadn't taken the crash course beforehand! Still, I really loved Emily and Michael as characters and the whole summery setting, so I'm glad you did too! Wait until you meet Michael in Storm -- your heart will break for him, right after you want to punch him in the face LOL! x)<br /><br />Beautiful honest review, Hilda! <3 You're always completely honest and helpful, and I always love you so much for it :) I can't wait to see what you think about Storm!Mimi Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241457025232914551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-91342116051502393722012-05-27T19:02:07.394+07:002012-05-27T19:02:07.394+07:00Oh I grabbed this one too when it was free!

However, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Especially the relationship between Michael and Emily. :) Lovely review, Hilda! <3Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678009807863670317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-78557516442871056102012-05-27T01:26:16.818+07:002012-05-27T01:26:16.818+07:00I completely understand how you were confused beca...I completely understand how you were confused because I was confused too. I still enjoyed the majority of the book for most of the same reasons. I also loved the chemistry between Emily and Michael.

Novellas are fun but too short for my liking. But I think I shall read it. It's great that it gives a lot of background and that Storm is just a Kindle book away so the cliffhanger hopefully will not bug me that much! I'm very excited to read this series (hopefully I'll get to read it soon) and I loved the quote. Definitely piqued my interest! Awesome review, Hilda :D the part about how you felt about the cliffhanger made me smile. It frustrates me when a novel takes off and then doesn't but thankfully there is Storm which I hope will be amazing! It has to be.. The four brothers sound amazing! :DPooja.

I started Storm (haven't finished it yet) and it didn't really tie up the Michael + Emily story for me, haha. I don't understand the Elemental world either but maybe the books in the series offer insight.
