The first book in this series, Here With Me, was really good, as always, but for some reason, I just really liked this one even more! Which in a way is kind of weird, because the age difference between the characters in this story is something that usually I don’t like. But Young does a great job of writing the story so that it is just obvious that these two were meant for each other despite the age difference. I did spend a lot of the story almost cursing Thane for his stubbornness about the age difference himself. And the way he would snap at Regan for something he’d just done himself, man. Okay, maybe I’m not painting the best picture of Thane here. LOL, I still loved him though. I mean he was such a great dad, and the steamy times, whoa! Not to mention his very creative use of taking the scenes in Regan’s romance books that got her a little hot and acting them out for her without her even thinking to ask him that!

But as with the first book in this series, the story was so much more than just the romance between Thane and Regan. It was all about family, as well as some intense outside bad guys. While in the first book in the series, the bad guys were kind of based more on Lachlan’s past, in this story we get a little bit from both characters’ pasts. And I really like the way both of these conflicts were handled. Plus, I was totally in love with Thane’s kids, Eilidh and Lewis. And I like saying Eilidh’s name the way it was shown to be pronounced: ay-lay.

I had tears streaming down my face towards the end of the book, the emotions in this one really got me. Highly recommend this one and I’m eagerly awaiting any more of the siblings in the Adair family to get their own books and HEAs!
