Ever think Scrooge had it right before the ghosts ruined his life? Meet Aidan O'Conner. At one time he was a world-renowned celebrity who gave freely of himself and his money without wanting anything in return...until those around him took without asking. Now Aidan wants nothing of the world--or anyone who's a part of it.

When a stranger appears at his doorstep, Aidan knows he's seen her before…in his dreams.

Born on Olympus as a goddess, Leta knows nothing of the human world. But a ruthless enemy has driven her from the world of dreams and into the home of the only man who can help her: Aidan. Her immortal powers are derived from human emotions--and his anger is just the fuel she needs to defend herself…

One cold winter's night will change their lives forever… Trapped together in a brutal winter storm, Aidan and Leta must turn to the only power capable of saving them--or destroying them both: trust.

Another great book to the Hunterverse-series. In this book we meet Aidan O'Conner and he acts like the Scrooge. Aidan is tried of people walking all over him and taking advantage of him for his money. The money he worked so hard to get while becoming an amazing actor who is loved and adored by all. Not only has his friends betrayed him, his own brother tried to kill him for his money. Now, his brother is looking for revenge and believes Aidan doesn't deserve that money or the fame, he says it should be all his.

One day on a cold winters night Leta appears in Aidan's life and it all starts to go down hill for him. It has been a while and I do mean a while since Leta has been awake. She has no idea what the world is like in this day and age. Leta is awoken because someone decided to call upon the god of pain, Dolors, which was Aidan's brother. Leta doesn't care for Aidan she just wants Dolors dead and gone. So she pains on using Aidan's angry to fill her with power to do just that.

The main character Aidan, I really do feel bad for him. He went through all this trouble because he was rich and famous and his brother wasn't Aidan worked hard to get out of the horrible situation he was in. But his brother didn't care, he wanted everything. I see why Aidan became the Scrooge and decides to avoid everyone, because it is hard for him to trust now.

Leta, she is a strong-willed and powerful dream-hunter. She was put to sleep because of the major injures she got from the last time Dolors and her fought. At first I didn't like her because all she wanted was to use Aidan to get to Dolors and kill him. But then she started to fall for him, but she doesn't believe they were her emotions until her brother M'Adoc told her that the Dream-Hunters are slowly getting their emotions back. There is no stopping the connect they have for one another, it took a while for Aidan to trust Leta, but he finally lets her in she has to leave and he is devastated.

I loved the book, my favorite part was when Aidan's friends decided to come over for a Christmas dinner after all that has happen between him and Leta. I wanted to cry of happiness and sadness. For one he lost the one he loved and for two his friends from the studio came to celebrate Christmas with him. So like I said before another great book to the Hunter-verse series.
