This is definitely a grown up interpretation of a legend -- I don't recall any of the trolls from my childhood threatening a five-alarm forest fire. The descriptions were fantastic and completely transported me to the lush island where I truly believed in the local myths and I found myself embracing the legend. I'm not sure that I could overcome El Trauco's past and actions as easily as Isabel did. I'm not sure I could balance the dream with reality. Don't get me wrong I'm sure I would have given in to his powerful seductions in the forest and the love scenes were steamy. I felt as if I never really connected with either the hero or the heroine of this story. This story had loads of steamy scenes and if you are looking for a brief escape from reality this is a good choice.
