Well the cover was the first love. I thought this one was great! I love the Riley family even more after book 2. What I LOVED was Elizabeth. After the first book in this series I was wondering how the Fabulous Jaci Burton was working her into my good graces. Yeah me first not Mick and Tara. If I hated her for the things she said to Tara in book 1 then why read on? right? So I think by the ending of the 5th chapter I was on the redemption road traveling fast.

Things with Gavin and Elizabeth happened and she was such a control freak that it took a while to get why she was that way. Just when they were doing fine of course Mick throws his hat in the ring and starts the fighting back and forth. I tried to read a little slow and did make a few hi-lites that were suitable for print. The others I reserve for my personal use!!

This one had a few ups and downs and was far more emotional with the leads. Both Gavin and Mick needed to work their issues out and better b y talk and not a brawl. When Tara confronted Elizabeth I was on the edge! What a diplomat she was. We heard from her in a shocking way. The Riley family was front and center doing what they do best when another giant pot hole appears at Gavin, Mick and Jenna’s door. The head of the clan Jimmy was funnier and who can not love a mom like Kathleen? She is so warm and caring towards Liz and Tara you want to hug her too. I think the best aspect of her personality is that she tells it like she sees it and if her boys are bad she calls them out.

I can say I loved the emotion and sense of family with this one. I think maybe we were a little more invested in them this time around. I can say that the next one stars Jenna. Big squeals of joy! Lastly the heat, I mean do I have to go on. I think Jaci fans around the globe are fans of her branding of heat. Big kudos for heat and hotness ooh lala
