Lucy hasn't had the best experiences when it came to love ... starting when Jordan stood her up in school. Running into him again now as the guardian of one of her students affects her more than she thought it would. Sure of himself and charming, once Jordan sets himself on turning her head, Lucy has very little hope of resisting regardless of the things that she's survived.

I really felt for Jordan as tragedy has him reevaluating his choices. His career has separated him from his family and he's now seeing exactly how much he missed out on. Facing the consequences, with both Lucy and his siblings, he does a lot of growing, evaluating what he needs to do to make things better.

Terry does a fantastic job of bringing together a lot of elements into an enjoyable romantic read - second chance romance between Jordan & Lucy, reforming a rake, and family drama among the Kincaids, plus a little mystery. I will warn you that not all of the secondary loose ends are tied up for some of these elements, but it is the start of a new series and these will bleed over to future stories to be resolved later. Also, as the first book, there is some extra explanation that has to happen, so there is a little more going on than might have been needed if it was a single story.

But the main plot is resolved beautifully and I really liked being there while Lucy & Jordan fell in love. Terry is a skilled at what she does and I can't wait to see what happens with the rest of the Kincaids. She's got a lot of drama just waiting to play out :)
