Slade and Skye had me at hello. They fell in love the moment they met each other. There was a lot of drama getting them to happily ever after but this was such a good book.

I would rate this book at 3.5 stars. The most interesting part was the mystery of Skye's parentage and the reasoning behind her ex-fiance and adoptive parents attempts to force a marriage.

I thought it was nice that the Madaris clan gave her a sense of family and were so accepting. Of course, more emphasis was placed on her relationship with Slade rather then her relationship with the brother she came to town to find.

I also liked that there wasn't as much angst between the couple as in some of the other books. I listened to the audio version of the book and thought the narration was well done.

On the minus side, I truly got tired of hearing about the Madaris stubbornness, the Madaris men getting what they want, etc. How many times do the Madaris family have to verbalize all of their wonderful qualities? How many times do they have to discuss the "taste" of one another? A few too many times in this book. For me, the frequency of the statements throughout the book took away from the story.

Mrs. Jackson always knows how to keep her readers wanting for more. From the first page til the last, the characters, plots, and climaxes captures her readers. The main character Skye Barclay is searching adamantly for her biological brother. While searching for one thing, she ended up blessed with 10x more. And what can you say about those Madaris men??? Whew, they make the pages in the book catch a fire. Slade truly accepted her for who she was and convinced her to stop caring so much about what others think.
