A guest review by Sirius

Summary: This was a nicely paced well written story, unfortunately one of the main characters lost his brains early in the story and as far as I was concerned never found them again – all in the name of true love.  If you would be able to suspend disbelief and brush off his actions in the name of true love  and if you do not mind a lot of description of scenery, you will probably enjoy this story much more than I did.
