This one definitely had me interested from the start. Even had me wanting to go back and read Grady’s story from Bromberg’s original series. I liked the characters a lot as well. Both had great back stories and were very well flushed out through the story. I like that even when things were brought in as the dramatic problems to overcome, the characters were able to take a minute to think about it, and realize that they either overreacted or needed to put effort out to fix it. Without taking a long time or needing a big push from someone else to do it.

The story kept me involved and it was a quick read as my interest was held the whole time. The only complaints I had were that there were some things that I feel were left out and would have made for good scenes in the story. Like when Penny’s best friend came to visit, we only got a tiny bit of when he first arrived, and then no time spent with all of them as he stayed. There were a few other events like that as well. The steamy scenes were good, although also needed maybe just a bit more? Some of the way they talked during those scenes didn’t fit exactly for me as I read. But overall, this was a really good story, and I hope to read more by this author in the future!
