Romance across times and across universes.

 

“When Lightning Flashed” held promise for me, yes the lost/found/who’s who love wasn’t a strong point for me.  I couldn’t get into the romance.

 

However, the Prologue captured me.  The idea of a dying knight being lead by a ghost, perhaps to the other side hooked me immediately.  I was shocked when the first chapter brought me to our modern day and a near rape; however, having the hero arrive through a flash of lightning was dramatic.

 

After this I drifted away from the story.  Deanne, the near rape victim, accepted this strange hero and his killing too quickly.  The story felt rushed and unclear.

 

Once again, I need to ask – is it just me not mixing with the story?
