The Ivy Hill series has the best love triangles, as there are no obviously bad choices offered to the characters. There is a wide cast, but the book is written well enough that I didn't forget who some of the characters were. Also, it isn't just about acquiring a relationship where the author has the characters kiss and then immediately stops writing, but is about building both friendships and love interests. Finally, I sometimes wasn't sure who was the main love interests in a book since the stories were rich enough to bring some couples together and leave others apart.

In this installment, I liked how family was defined and redefined.
