This is the last book of Spellbound Falls and it is the book of Carolina Oceanus aka Jane Smith.
Jane was kidnapped but somehow (probably by magic) she manages to get away to Spellbound Falls and into the arms of Alec MacKeage. Alec is Duncan nephew and although he doesn't possess magic, he does

everything to protect Jane, even from herself.

I really don't know what to say besides it was a disappointment. Jane was a little dumb but I guess that it was a little hard to keep with all the lies and I didn't understand who Alec was in reality.
Sometimes I was reading and then the story changed and I get lost in the plot. I kept thinking that maybe I was missing a few pages...guess not.
I didn't understand how Alec knew the truth about Jane, I mean, he calls the number she had called earlier and Bam...everything makes sense? Not.
And about Sam, Olivia's father, what was that talk about the army or grey ops or whatever?
It didn't work for me.
Since the first book that I sensed that something was missing and I really didn't feel empathy or "transported" to the story.
I'm rating it three because the scenery descriptions were ok as well as the author's imagination.

An enjoyable paranormal story that was very creative but after awhile it seemed like the reason for everything was magic. I liked the hero and heroine but I didn't see a good build of their relationship. Alex is creating a wilderness trail when he rescues Jane who was being beaten up.

Her father was sending men to court his daughter, even ones from other time periods. Alec was the one to find the frightened girl and proceeded to convince her father that he was the one for her. But first he had to eliminate the competition. I still like the first of her Highlander books but this

series is entertaining.

Was looking forward to Carolina's story and this didn't disappoint. Love how this story is really about the right to choose who you want to be and how you want to live. Also sets up the next two books.
