The way Sophie writes just speaks to me. The things this woman can make you feel with the written word are truly miraculous. I always think I am going to slowly enjoy her books, but I end up devouring them in one sitting because they are that good. I loved book one and getting to have grumpy Captain Stone be the focal point, but let me tell you, Dante Moretti is a whole different league. Move over, book boyfriends, because this man is taking the cake. He's perfect, and the mouth on that boy will have you screaming. The way he takes care of everyone he loves, not out of obligation but out of genuine caring, had me in tears. He refuses to be scared away by Taryn's rough exterior because he knows she's been hurt and deserves better. This age gap was so freaking hot! Usually I'm reading the MMC being the older one, but I think I may now want this reversal all the time. Taryn broke my heart. She's mean because she has had to put up her armor for so long, and then when this young guy comes into her life, she can't quite handle those walls she built coming crumbling down. Dante fell in love with her and her kids, and be prepared for waterworks. I cried so many times in this book because I felt all those emotions.
Okay, on to my favorite part of spice, and that was toe-curling, scream-into-a-pillow hot. I loved that the FMC was older and everything looked a little different, but that did not deter our man. He was crawling, begging, and finishing in his pants at the sight of his lady coming undone.
Another spectacular book! Sophie is an auto-buy author for me, and every book she writes blows me away! You have to read about the Stone family!
