A lot of little stories intricatly weaved together. We get to see more of Dalton and Jules and we keep pace with Shana and Jace as they wed and continue their happily ever after. The main focus of this story is Caden and Shiloh, while we got a little glimpse of them in the first installment of the Granger story this really delves into why they broke up and how they got back together. We see a littler more of the father as he tries to protect his sons from prison, and while we think Caden's life is in danger b/c of his dads case turns out its because the Granger boys just cant trust the people in their lives as Caden's manager was the one who tried to kill him for an insurance policy. Did not see that move coming. The end is the most interesting as we see Sedrick, Shiloh's brother, meet with a mysterious man who seems to be behind a lot of the mysteries surrounding the boys like, who killed their mother, why their father is in prison, Brandy's suicide? etc, who says that Sedrick is now responsible for making sure the boys dont reopen there fathers case or he will let is slip that Sedrick did let Richard (the grandfather) die on purpose.

Caden Granger has always loved Shiloh Timmons. Well, he did until her father showed him "proof" that Shiloh no longer loved him. Then he gave up on her completely. His head did anyway. So when her mother shows up telling him that he was in the wrong, Caden is all-in in trying to win Shiloh back. Even after four years.
Shiloh didn't exactly desert Caden as he thought. In fact, the truth is even worse. The two will have to work with each other both to solve their own issues as well as to work on the overarching mystery of who killed Caden's mother (it's probably not his father who is serving time in jail.)
Why not a higher star value? Not enough groveling. No, seriously. Caden f'ed up big time and barely even says "I'm sorry."
