Petra Palerno has a knack at making her characters lovable while telling an interesting story. I loved this book, the protective instinct of the hero is rather endearing. I thought the second half got a little tedious, yet kept me interested to learn how it ended. I received an ARC from the author for an honest review. Thank you Petra. Looking forward to her next books.
