3.5

While this book was enjoyable to read, I felt that Kantra was sometimes too in your face about things, hammering her point into her readers mind, not trusting them to get there on their own. I also feel like she had a lot she wanted to do with this book and a lot of connections she wanted to make and sometimes side storylines just fell off the page to focus on the main story, leaving the reader with no closure (specifically with the Glenda Norton/Norton family storyline). The love triangle was forced and I wish Kantra had made Sam a brotherly character instead of a playboy love interest with no real follow through.
