likeable and I loved the relationship the two had with each other and Briar I liked Briar, she was a very down to earth, sensible girl I just didn t connect with her like I did some of KM Shea s other heroines, like Rakel, for example There was nothing wrong with Briar and I didn t DISLIKE...4.5I love this series This was a solid 4.5 star read, for me The biggest reasons I didn t give it 5 stars are 1 The mom and the grandpa were mule headed and at times unbearably so and 2 I am really stingy with giving out 5 stars because when I give something 5 stars it is because it is really among my
