This is a very interesting series. I read the first book before the second. I personally think it helps to read all these books.

First Kaylie seems like a spoiled brat that enjoys throwing a temper tantrum when she does not get her way. Sometimes she reminded me of a child kicking and screaming while laying on the floor. Her actions reminds me of a distant relative. Their philosophy what's is yours is mine and what's mine is mine.

Really liked Chaz, he seems like a down to earth guy. Someone willing to go out of his way just to help a friend.

This was an enjoyable read.

The bunnies and I give this book 4 carrots.

I started and finished this book last night. If something in my review seems off, it is me not the book. I usually read a book several weeks early so I can process and think about the book before writing a review. Sadly, life and cold weather has gotten to me this time.

After reading the blurb I had the feeling this book would be another Hatfield-McCoy families. They hate each other and the kids marry just try and end the feud. Yes, it is partly that but so much more.

To this reader Rex is every woman’s dream man, strong, loyal, protective, hard working and very sexy. He is currently only interested in his part-time relationships. Suddenly all his ideas change, he has a longing for something more.

Jade is feisty. At first I thought she was recovering from a broken heart, but the more I read I realized she is recovering from her pride being hurt. After being used pride hurts more than anything and slowly I think Jade realizes this.

This book has a lot more sass to it than some of the other books I have read by Melissa. A drawing sexual tension pulls readers in as the watch Rex and Jade discover their love.

Sometimes it seems like Rex and Jade are just too perfect. Felt like they were without fault. I wish the feud was explained more. The feud was covered just not deep enough for me.

Thanks for a fun read.

**Beware of possible spoilers, sorry***   ***I received an ARC of this book***

I started and finished this book in about 3 hours.  First, the cover is perfect.  I love the little girl with a flower.  I do wonder why a rose was not used but that is my preference.   

Sarah is in regression from what no one knows.  While reading this a million and one thoughts went through my head about what trauma Sarah experienced.  As a parent we always worry about our child and as they get older that worry just increases.  When a child is young we are able to control the environment / experiences more. But, what if someone you trust is responsible?  How would you react? If someone emotionally hurt your child would you be able to forgive? Me, sorry never.  I only have one child and he is my everything.  Does not matter how old he is – if hurt him, you hurt me. 

I wonder why Junie was so easy to move pass the hurt.  Sometimes emotional hurt is worse than physical.  Physical scars heal, emotional is there for life.  In this I felt the book wrapped up too quickly.  Yes, I know we are supposed to forgive and forget.  The easy part is forgiving.  The hard part is forgetting. 

Readers are shown some parts where the impression is given that Junie’s marriage is perfect.  How perfect is any marriage?  On the outside looking in most all couples have a perfect marriage, it is what each person experiences, the let-downs, the one who stays at work to late, the miss opportunity for relationship growth, the flirting with someone at work.  Little things like this are what the outside world never sees in a prefect marriage. 

Brain seemed to spend a lot of time at work.  I understand he is an up-and-coming lawyer.  But to leave the house at 6 am and not come back home until 11 pm, with Junie never questioning him?  Never trying to help with Sarah’s problem.  Blaming Junie for babying her too much.  Annoyed at the wet sheets.  Sorry a man like this does not deserve any sympathy from me. 

I did enjoy this book, but those are my thoughts and questions. The story unfolds slowly and leave readers wondering who or what hurt Sarah.  Junie kept cooking to help release stress, and I can understand this.  Baking is a great outlet for stress – pounding the dough, crushing nuts, everything.  It seems like sometimes Junie had rather bake than actually face the world and her problems.  This does get annoying throughout the whole book.  To this reader it seems like Junie is always walking away from the problem instead of facing / solving it. 

I wonder why everyone was scared to tell Junie about her missing memories from childhood.  I understand memories can be painful, but Junie is suppose to be an adult.  If she cannot handle hearing the truth then maybe she really does need deep emotional therapy.  Everyone seemed to hew-haw around what happened to Ellen.  No one wanted to tell anyone anything.  Seemed like they had rather sweep the past away than admit to any faults and move one.

I liked how the story unfolded.  Several different twists keep popping up diverting the true plot.  A story to keep readers wondering what might happen next.

First, I loved the cover on this book. So many times published / authors pick a cover and it seems too modern. The male and female look like a very old picture, it was perfect for this book.

Okay I only have one problem with this book. This location is according to my K3. On page 128 Vangie stabbed a would-be robber with her dagger "Flabbergasted, his jaw hanging open, Ian gaped. Vangie's jeweled dagger, impaled to the hilt, protruded from the robber's back." Then on page 256 "She'd not seen him like that since the night she shot the highwayman." First she stabbed someone with her dagger, I can understand this. But a little over 100 pages later it is stated that she shot the highway man. Unless something was edited out of the book then this is a major error. This was not an ARC copy, I purchased a copy because I hate reading from PDF's. Just wondering how a mistake like this got pass editors and the author?

I really did enjoy the book. The only problem I found is above. I liked how Vangie was not the average female. I do wonder how she never knew two men fought a duel over her. It seems like this would have been the `on-dit' for the gossiping ton. I know females were sheltered more in these times than today, but still if two men fought a duel over her someone would have told her.

Then I wonder why Ian did not just question Vangie or her uncle about everything he thought was fact? He took everything so-called acquaintances word as fact but would not ask any questions.

Thanks for a fairly interesting read.
