Winner Takes All has a little different feel to it, especially in relation to the other books in this series, but I absolutely loved the opportunity to join Storm and Colleen as they take on The Great American Scavenger Hunt.  It was a little like reading a recap of an early season of The Amazing Race, which was one of my favorite series when it first came out,.  All of the fun of a road trip without ever leaving your chair :)  I was a little unsure about how the timing matched up, and there was a few places where it definitely felt weird, but overall it was a great ride.  And I loved how it gave Colleen and Storm a chance to connect as adults and remember how close they were once upon a time. 

Although the fourth in a series, I feel like this one is easily a stand alone story.  We have gotten to know Colleen a bit, especially her past and how she treated others, which probably helps readers understand better the person she is today.  But I think it also works if you are getting to know the new her through Storm's perspective.  Winter does a great job of throwing Storm and Colleen together, forcing them to have to address their own issues as well as their thoughts about each other.  The high stress, intimate time together doesn't give them much chance to hide from each other.  Or themselves.
