Many thanks to this wonderful little book for making me kick and scream (literally) because of all the strong feelings it gave me while reading.

I LOVED THIS BOOK. I loved every twist and turn the plot took that I couldn't stop myself from turning the page even when my eyes were starting to her. I loved loved LOVED Morgan. She is, by far, one of THE BEST heroines I have ever read. She is only 18 in the story but her maturity was so commendable that I couldn't help but love and admire her. I loved that our hero Gervase came to love her for wit, kindness, and compassion for others. Their chemistry was amazing and was palpable from the very start of their friendship that eventually led to their romance. Their chemistry was so strong there were a lot of times I had to pause the audiobook and just breathe to contain all my feelings. It was insane!!!

After this installment, the urge to collect this author's backlist is so strong. I can't wait to finish this series (but I also kind of don't because I don't want to finish too soon)!
