Ground Sweet as Sugar

I am wavering between 3 stars or 4 for this one. There was a lot I loved, the setting, Charlotte, the side characters.

However, I found the plot jumping between Ireland and the Caribbean, distracting at times. Especially through the middle portion of the book where we kept switching every page and a half. There were also a few chapters thrown in, and I don't know if I missed something or what, but I have NO idea who the characters speaking were, nor their point in the story. Perhaps it will be cleared up in the second book.

Lastly, I could not stand James! Which is unfortunate since it looks like he is the “hero” of the book.
