ramble in her books, and if there s a solid romance I don t really mind, but here it felt as if she d kind of lost the run of herself I mean, these characters just went on and on and on And on I

gave it 4 stars I really enjoyed it while reading it However, have you ever read a book, but after you started thinking about it later realized things were really lacking Sorry for the long run on

to admit I felt Keanon forgave his family too quickly I mean, his family tortured him Mary s classic rambling is there, and the end is HFN While not a total hit, it was enjoyable.This was a typical

rushed romance and also somehow making it seem unfair on the part of Kaenan not to immediately forgive his abusers because they are family and it s been a long time and they all are nicer now We don t even get to find out why these people all had an 180 degree change of heart This was a typical Mary Calmes which shouldn t be a surprise, she writes very similarly in all her books with overly
